Understanding my Biases and Helping my Kids Understand Theirs

*Times are listed in EST

 One of the most harmful things we can do is allow implicit biases to go unnoticed and unaddressed. “Microaggressions,” which Ibram Kendi, author of How To Be An Anti-Racist pushes us to reclaim as everyday racist acts, are the everyday slights that require daily vigilance and need to be addressed explicitly. Everyone holds implicit biases, they develop over time. But they can also be interrogated and addressed as we work towards creating more awareness and understanding. Implicit biases form as a result of stereotypes. How do we understand how biases form in ourselves and impact how we navigate this world? How do we talk to our children about these stereotypes? In this workshop, the facilitators will support conversations around stereotypes and ways in which this can be addressed with kids.

Facilitators: Michelle Felder, Natalie Ginsburg
