Overcoming Implicit Bias
Marie Walker & Paula O'Loughlin
The presentation will focus on the topic of implicit bias. Implicit bias can exist in individuals who do not consciously consider themselves to be prejudiced. Nevertheless, this subconscious bias can influence thoughts, feelings, and actions. Participants are strongly encouraged to complete three pre-workshop assessment tests available online at: https://implicit.harvard.edu/implicit/takeatest.html (there are numerous tests to choose from, but we ask that participants do Gender-Science, Race, and Disability; each test takes about 10 minutes to complete; please bring your results).

9:30-10:30 a.m. ??'? Alumni Hall
Bystander Intervention
Paula O'Loughlin
This interactive role-playing session looks at how bystander intervention empowers and mobilizes participants to recognize, intervene, stop, and prevent inappropriate comments and behaviors. Practicing these hypothetical scenarios will help employees feel better able to intervene as bystanders.
