Blindspots: Hidden Biases of Good People with Mahzarin Banaji
We would like to invite you, our Quick Base Community, to join us, July 15th 10:00am-11:30am EST for Mahzarin Banaji’s talk “Blindspots: Hidden Biases of Good People”.
Mahzarin is the leading expert on the science behind implicit bias (she created that term!). Her talk is drawn from 35 years of understanding how the mind works in social contexts and the research she’s conducted as a scientist at Yale and now as the Richard Clarke Cabot Professor of Social Ethics at Harvard University.
Mahzarin is the co-creator of Project Implicit, Harvard’s non-profit organization dedicated to educating the public about hidden biases. She is also the co-creator of the Implicit Association Test which helps people to understand their own attitude or stereotypes on gender, race, sexuality, age (and other) that influence our perception, judgment and action.
