SUMMARY:Do You See What I See? Implicit Bias for Better or Worse
DESCRIPTION:We come from different places and backgrounds. Our life experiences and backgrounds can affect the way we see the world and each other\, for better or worse. What is implicit bias\, and how does it shape our attitudes and actions towards others? How do stereotypes affect our understanding\, actions\, and decisions? “Implicit bias” can cause us to have feelings and attitudes about other people based on characteristics such as race\, ethnicity\, age\, ability\, and appearance. How can we learn to navigate the world as seen through the eyes of people different from us? How can we share what we have learned with people at home\, at work\, and in the communities we live in? \n  \nAbout the Speaker \nRory specializes in supporting organizations committed to enhancing diversity\, and creating more inclusive cultures.

SUMMARY:Nice is Not Enough: Understanding Systemic Oppression
DESCRIPTION:Current events across the nation are challenging us to take a hard look at how some groups of people are being treated differently from others on a daily basis. Why does this happen? What systems intentionally or implicitly benefit some people at the expense of others? How does systemic oppression impact certain groups at work\, at school\, and in the community? As the beneficiaries of these systemic decisions\, policies or laws\, we are often not even aware of the impact on us\, or the harm to others. This program provides an opportunity to explore how systems impact people differently\, and the steps we can take personally to eliminate unfair treatment and harm to others. \n  \nAbout the Speaker \nRory specializes in supporting organizations committed to enhancing diversity\, and creating more inclusive cultures.
