Biased: How Unconscious Bias Shapes Behavior: Jennifer Eberhardt In Conversation withJulie Lythcott-Haims. Unconscious bias can be at work without our realizing it, and even when we genuinely wish to treat all people equally, ingrained stereotypes can infect our visual perception, attention, memory, and behavior. These stereotypes have an impact on education, employment, housing, and criminal justice. Eberhardt’s groundbreaking book Biased: Uncovering the Hidden Prejudice that Shapes What We See, Think, and Do, provides a perspective that is at once scientific, investigative, and informed by personal experience, She will offer a powerful exploration of how racial bias seeps into our classrooms, college campuses, police departments, and businesses and reminds us that racial bias is a human problem–one all people can play a role in solving.
