Empirically informed implicit bias training
The University of Sheffield, September 24th 2018.Empirically informed implicit bias training
Implicit bias training is an increasingly popular way of addressing the problems that workplaces might confront as a result of the operation of implicit bias.
But what are the characteristics of good implicit bias training?
How can we evaluate whether a training session has been successful or not?
At this workshop, we engaged with recent empirical research about what works in implicit bias training, and through guided panel discussions articulated and shared norms of best practice in relation to different aspects of bias training.
