"Keeping Justice Blind: Recognizing and Mitigating Bias"

Presented by

In this presentation we will discuss understanding what bias is (both conscious and unconscious), subtle acts of exclusion, and microaggressions. We will also provide an analytical framework along with real-life examples and information on liability and ethical obligations.
