This interactive Seminar introduces Psychology students to the concepts of unconscious bias, discrimination, privilege and intersectionality, as well as providing examples of the tangible effects of such. Central to this session is the consideration of the complexity and multiplicity of identity and social experience, and the ways in which specific group characteristics can interact to affect experiences, depending upon context. Through interactive discussions, participants explore examples of unconscious bias and cultivate skills to recognise and counteract biases that may influence decision-making processes, while examining practical strategies for being more inclusive.
