Nearly Three Hundred Faculty Participate in Implicit Bias Workshops to Date – All-Daily-News: "According to Mahzarin R. Banaji, professor and chair of Harvard University’s Department of Psychology, “Even the most well-intentioned person unwittingly allows unconscious thoughts and feelings to influence apparently objective decisions.” Implicit biases affect almost every aspect of daily life, and are quickly becoming the focus of programs within academia and industry. The Wall Street Journal recently reported that 50 percent of large U.S. companies are expected to offer unconscious bias training for their employees in the next five years. Georgia Tech’s Institute Diversity, in collaboration with the ADVANCE Program, began offering Implicit Bias Workshops — designed for faculty who serve on reappointment, promotion, and tenure and faculty search committees — in fall 2015."
