Understanding Bias and Prejudice: Bringing the Unconscious Conscious

Maine Sister Society of the Global Women’s Leadership Network
Please join us on March 23 to hear Mandy Levine speak on
implicit bias training.

Understanding Bias and Prejudice:
Bringing the Unconscious Conscious

This foundational class supports participants increasing their awareness of their own personal biases – both explicit and implicit – and how these biases impact the ways in which we navigate the world.  Learning to give your first impressions a second look is a challenging and incredibly meaningful undertaking that requires humility, curiosity, and patience. Mandy uses a combination of videos, polls, and storytelling to define and explore some of the biases that impact many of us, oftentimes outside of our conscious awareness, and provide research-based guidance on how to challenge the narratives in our heads. No one workshop can reverse the narrative that has been playing in your head about an identity group your entire life, but Mandy provides participants practical, actionable tools to undertake the process of challenging those scripts.
