Participants will explore the impact of implicit bias in various contexts rooted in current literature, share their experiences, and identify evidence-based strategies and resources to mitigate implicit bias. Sessions will also include discussion of key concepts, such as intersectionality, microaggressions, and privilege.
This CIRTLCast series will feature a short presentation of relevant publications, followed by a moderated discussion modeled after the Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI) learning community, and concluding with a synthesis of the information discussed. Participants will use handouts and resources during the session to identify practical applications of the concepts discussed.
Each session will serve as a foundation for the following week's theme; therefore, participants are encouraged to attend all four online events either by viewing on your own or joining the CELT staff. Registration information for each part of the series may be found on the ISU Events Calendar website:
== Monday, October 1 (10:30-11:30 a.m.): How pervasive is implicit bias in STEM?
== Monday, October 8 (10:30-11:30 a.m.): How can we identify implicit biases in ourselves and others?
== Monday, October 22 (10:30-11:30 a.m.): How can we minimize implicit bias in our academic communities (e.g., courses, departments, schools)?
== Monday, October 29 (10:30-11:30 a.m.): How can we interrupt and mitigate implicit bias when we witness it?

*About CIRTL (Center for the Integration of Research, Teaching, and Learning)*
ISU's membership in CIRTL is sponsored in a partnership between CELT and the Graduate College.
CIRTL's mission is to enhance excellence in undergraduate education through the development of a national faculty committed to implementing and advancing effective teaching practices for diverse learners as part of successful and varied professional careers. It was established with the intent of preparing future science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) faculty across the nation, to ultimately improve the STEM learning of all students, at every college and university, and thereby to increase the diversity in STEM fields and the STEM literacy of the nation. The three CIRTL core ideas are: Evidence-based Teaching, Learning Communities, and Learning-through-Diversity.
This event is promoted ISU's Center for Excellence in Learning and Teaching. Learn more via the CELT website.
