This workshop, facilitated by CAT and EPIC, explores how various forms of bias impact course design and class dynamics, and helps instructors develop knowledge and skills for interrupting bias and managing hot moments in the classroom. Participants will practice recognizing intent versus impact, as well as a variety of concrete tools for troubleshooting friction in the classroom–and will walk away with a deeper understanding of how bias affects students and instructors.
NOTE: We strongly recommend attending Foundations for Equitable & Inclusive Teaching before participating in this workshop. Instructors who are new to anti-bias work may also find it helpful to explore UCLA BruinX’s Implicit Bias website and Harvard University’s free Project Implicit – Social Attitudes portal prior to attending this session.
