131: Implicit Bias with Dr. Mahzarin Banaji
b'Explicitly, nobody really believes in gender stereotypes anymore, but when we look at the world, and who\'s where and how much money people make, and so on, it still seems to be there. And the answer to that is yeah, because it\'s there. It\'s just not something we say. It\\u2019s more of something we do.\\n\\n-Dr. Mahzarin Banaji\\n\\n \\n\\nWhat is implicit bias?\\xa0 Do I have it (and do you?)?\\xa0 Does my (and your?) child have it?\\xa0 And if we do have implicit bias, what, if anything, can we do about it?\\n\\nJoin me in a conversation with Dr. Mahzarin Banaji, former Dean of the Department of Psychology at Harvard University and co-creator of the Implicit Association Test, for an overview of implicit bias and how we can know if we (and our children) have it.\\n\\nThis episode will be followed by a second part in this mini-series where we dig deeply into the research, where results are complex and often contradictory.\\xa0 Stay tuned!\\n\\n \\n\\nJump to highlights:\\n
