The Scenario
“Whether you like it or not, if you have a brain, you have bias.”
Dr Jennifer Eberhardt
Biases are a natural part of how our brains operate. In fact, they're essential. It’s only when we allow them to negatively impact others, that they become a problem.
This simulation explores where biases come from, how they affect us, and demonstrates some useful strategies and techniques for identifying and challenging times when we might be thinking or acting from a based point of view.
This simulation has been co-developed in collaboration with subject matter experts from George Brown College.
