If you are just joining and haven’t listened to Episodes 121, 122, and 123, I’d recommend listening to those first, as I’m in the middle of sharing the content of my unconscious bias workshop. The face to face or Zoom versions are very interactive and are 3 hours, but I’m condensing it, but still wanted to share it. In Episode 121, I provided an introduction, and in 122, I did most of the background section, in 123 I finished the background and then talked about unconscious bias purpose and description. Today, in 124, I talk through “Filters, Lenses, & Worldviews” and “Types of Biases. I’ll just have one more episode in this series for episode 125, and then I’ll halt for the summer.
