My Thoughts

Dr. Jennifer L. Eberhardt is a graduate of Harvard and a professor at Stanford. Her career focuses on implicit bias. Throughout her career, she has spent time educating California officers about implicit bias and racial profiling. As a woman of color herself, she uses her education, training, experiences, and countless studies and research to explain how implicit bias causes racial disparities and inequities. She offers tools to challenge our biases to help solve the racial problem gripping the world.

She also talks about implicit bias in non-racial situations, such as blind orchestra auditions. I thought it was interesting to see how implicit bias affects different areas of life and how if that bias is taken away somehow those parts of life can improve and grow for the better.

I’m so glad I read BIASED. It was very eye-opening and interesting to read. I really enjoyed learning about implicit bias and about myself. I think this information is important for people (especially white people) to learn, maybe we’d have less racism.
