Dushaw Hockett, “We all have implicit biases. So what can we do about it?”<\/a>, TEDx MidAtlanticSalon, Washington, D.C. March 6, 2017 (uploaded to YouTube on Sept. 18, 2017). 12 minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The very robust and compelling evidence that has been coming out of the science community for the past ten plus years suggests that if we want to move to a radically different place\u2014a radically better place\u2014on issues of race and difference in this country, we have to pay attention to something called implicit bias.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n
