Implicit Bias (2016)

Presenter – Robin Wright

Video starts at Robin Wright’s lecture.

YouTube Video description:

“Everyone is susceptible to implicit bias – unconscious attitudes or stereotypes that affect judgments about others based on their race, ethnicity, appearance, and other characteristics. Research into this vital area of social cognition has drawn increased interest in the wake of racially charged events in Ferguson, Missouri, and Baltimore. The first step in addressing implicit bias is understanding that it exists. Maurice Stevens, the senior faculty research advisor at Ohio State University’s Kirwan Institute for the Study of Race and Ethnicity, and Robin Wright, a researcher and training facilitator at the institute, examine how these hidden predispositions develop and function and how we can mitigate them. The event is co-presented by the Urban League of Greater Kansas City with additional support provided by REACH Healthcare Foundation, Hallmark Cards, UMB Bank, KCUR-FM, and Husch Blackwell.”

Fixing Racism – Racism is at the Root of many of Humanity’s Evils (2016)

by Leave a Comment

Presenter – Gurdeep Parhar

YouTube video description:

“Our subconscious bias often leads to racial stereotyping which can result in misunderstandings, discrimination, and even violence. Some of the worst atrocities in human history have occurred because one ethnic group was thought to be inferior to another. By acknowledging that we do recognize differences, by admitting that we can never be truly culturally competent, and by confirming our similarities, can we take the first steps to fixing racism? Gurdeep Parhar is the Executive Associate Dean – Clinical Partnerships and Professionalism for the Faculty of Medicine at the University of British Columbia (Canada).”
