WORKSHOP DESCRIPTION:

Implicit bias occurs when we automatically and unconsciously assign judgement to people based on stereotypes. When it comes to Black, Indigenous, and other People of Color (BIPOC), implicit bias can lead to microaggressions, or everyday insults, indignities, and demeaning messages directed towards BIPOC by typically well-intentioned people who are unaware of the implications of those messages (Sue et al., 2007). While seemingly small or insignificant, for BIPOC that experience these often and on a daily basis, there can be significant consequences.  In this workshop, we will collaborate to explore the impact of implicit bias on the BIPOC community and society at large. This workshop will also provide strategies for participants to interrupt implicit bias and to effectively support BIPOC within professional and personal relationships.
