Recommendations will include concrete tips and strategies for future STEM faculty in all disciplines, levels, and roles within STEM. We will define and discuss key terms, such as intersectionality, positionality, and cultural responsiveness. Using Blackboard Collaborate, presenters will facilitate a discussion between speakers and participants based on their questions, comments, and experiences related to this issue.
Guiding questions for this session include:
== As a member of a minority or majority group, how does your identity and demographic reality impact how you address implicit bias? In what ways does intersectionality play a role in your approach to implicit bias?
== For STEM instructors, what are some strategies specific to addressing "hot moments" (i.e., controversial, conflictual, and/or emotionally-charged dialogues) in the classroom?
== In your experience, what key concepts, resources, strategies, or practices were most helpful for interrupting implicit bias? Were there any strategies omitted from this series that you would like to share?
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.

*About the CIRTLCast series: Addressing Implicit Bias in STEM*
This event is part of the four-part CIRTLCast series "Addressing Implicit Bias in STEM." Registration This drop-in, online event is open to the public. Anyone is welcome to attend, but you must register in order to attend. Once you register, you will have access to the Blackboard Collaborate room where this online event will take place.
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.
