Enjoy a sneak peek of Chapter 3, What Is Inclusion?

Exploring Unconscious Bias with Vernā Myers introduces the foundational concept of bias and addresses its impact on building and retaining a diverse and inclusive workplace where people of all backgrounds can thrive. Throughout the course, participants will be asked to look inward to better understand some of their unconscious biases and learn to recognize and safely interrupt bias exhibited by others. This 60-minute course is self-paced and has 18 short chapters that build upon one another and a short quiz. Included are the following handouts: 

  • Tips on Getting Familiar with Your Biases
  • Micro-inequities and How to Avoid Them
  • Understanding Gender Identity Beyond the Binary
