Summary:
"'The End of
Bias
: a
Beginning
' is transformative, groundbreaking exploration into how we can eradicate unintentional
bias
and discrimination, the great challenge of our age. Implicit
bias
: persistent, unintentional prejudiced behavior that clashes with our consciously held beliefs. We know that it exists, to corrosive and even lethal effect. We see it in medicine, we see it in finance, and as we know from the police killings of so many Black Americans,
bias
can be deadly. But are we able to step beyond recognition of our prejudice to actually change it? With fifteen years' immersion in the topic, Jessica Nordell digs deep into the cognitive
science
, social psychology, and developmental research that underpin current efforts to eradicate unintentional
bias
and discrimination. She examines diversity training, deployed across the land as a corrective but with inconsistent results. She explores what works and why: the diagnostic checklist used by doctors at Johns Hopkins Hospital that eliminated disparate treatment of men and women in disease prevention; the preschool in Sweden where teachers found ingenious ways to uproot gender stereotyping: the police unit in Oregon where the
practice
of mindfulness and specialized training has coincided with a startling drop in the use of force. 'The End of
Bias
: A
Beginning
' brings good news: Biased behavior can change; the approaches outlined here can transform ourselves and our world. "--From publisher.
