Presented for UAB faculty by Chris Jones. Bias is a “personal, sometimes unreasoned judgment” that can provide unconscious and often erroneous information. Understanding how our personal and cultural biases influence our decision-making and interpersonal interactions is an important step to reducing unconscious bias. Participants will learn about common types of personal, cultural, and social bias as well as learn promising practices that reduce bias and contribute to an inclusive and welcoming environment.

Registration is strongly encouraged for in-person attendance so that we can notify participants of any unexpected schedule changes and ensure that we have the correct amount of food if a meal is provided. UAB faculty are always welcome to show up to in-person CTL events without registering. However, if you do attend without registering, we ask that if food is being served, you wait until all pre-registered participants have gotten their food before serving yourself.

*Lunch will. be served at this event. Please let us know if you have any dietary restrictions or if your schedule changes and you are unable to attend.
