"Beyond the Cover: Judging the Story" by Brent Tracy
Thursday, June 10th, 3:00 - 6:00 pm MDT (2:00 pm PDT, 3:00 pm MDT, 4:00 pm CDT, 5:00 pm EDT)
We’ve all heard the saying, “don’t judge a book by its cover.” But that is easier said than done. Everyday our behaviors and decisions are influenced by our unconscious mind, hidden and obstructed from our view.
Subconsciously we can generate judgments of a person’s competence, education, class, status, and values based on our perceptions of a person's gender, ethnicity, age, and audiological status. These judgments lead to implicit biases, which significantly impact interactions among hearing, CODA, Deaf and DeafBlind providers, consumers and stakeholders.
Even though no one is exempt from the pitfalls of implicit bias, we can make a concerted effort to align our behaviors with our intentions.
In this presentation, we will address implicit bias through research-based data through a narrative and social cognitive lens. Prepare for an open dialogue that shines a light on these hidden biases, and strengthen our ASL community.
