Understanding Unconscious Bias: Part 1

 

The Alliance’s pledge is to continue to build and offer resources and training for leaders and emerging professionals in their journey to better understand DEI in their personal and professional lives.  This session is the first in our 2 part series around understanding unconscious bias.

    • System I and System 2 Thinking
    • Fight, Flight or Freeze
  • Unconscious Bias
    • Warmth and Competence
    • In-Group and Out-Group
