Speaker: Jennifer Sheridan & Prof. Molly Carnes, UW Madison
Abstract: This two-hour workshop introduces the concepts of unconscious biases and assumptions about gender by treating the application of such biases as a "bad habit." Attendees will uncover their own biases through use of an Implicit Association Test, will discover the underlying concepts and language used in the psychological and social psychological literature to describe such processes, and will be provided with proven strategies for reducing the application of these biases.
Host: Gender Minorties and Women in Physics (GMaWiP) spearheaded by Steph Kubala
