The end of bias : a beginning : the science and practice of overcoming unconscious bias / Jessica Nordell. by Nordell, Jessica. Metropolitan Books, Henry Holt and Company, 2021. Call #: 303.385 N828e Subjects Prejudices.   Discrimination. ISBN:  9781250186188 (hc.) Alternate title:  Beginning : the science and practice of overcoming unconscious bias Edition:  1st ed. Description:  353 p. ; 24 cm. Bibliography:  Includes bibliographical references and index. 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.
