Unconscious Bias for Students – North American Version Training Course
Exploring what unconscious bias is
Analysing forms of unconscious bias that may be present in University.
ELEARNING CONTENT FOR EVERYONE
Expertly crafted content, exceptional value
Learners will be shown strategies for overcoming their unconscious bias and ways to improve decision making and relationship building.
A heightened awareness of unconscious bias at university helps us to create more open, inclusive and effective campuses.
After taking this training learners can expect to:
Build awareness of bias and unconscious bias
Demonstrate how your biases could impact on your feelings and feedback
Biases are formed from our upbringing, experience, socialization and the media
Social categories lead us to prejudge, stereotype, or make assumptions with very little evidence
Identify how to minimize the impact of any biases you have
Unconscious bias continues to be a prevalent issue at University (and society as a whole), as portrayed by research cited in the Times Educational Supplement, that indicates that students are less likely to rate courses positively if they are taught by black or ethnic minority academics. Most of us unconsciously categorize people into groups as a means of saving processing time, but this, in turn, leads to negative stereotypes.
This course works to educate students and make them aware of their stereotypes and biases so that they can work to reduce these with the aim of creating a more inclusive campus.

"The video scenarios developed by [Marshalls] are very well done and provide very interesting spaces for reflection on understanding how subtle biases can emerge into a professional environment. The videos have been very helpful for unconscious bias training."
