About this Event
When it comes to bias and discrimination, what actually changes people? How do we become less discriminatory and more just? How do we begin to behave in a way that aligns with our values?
Jessica Nordell, author of The End of Bias: A Beginning, will present extensive, cutting-edge research (as well as personal experiences from her time as an undergrad at both MIT and Harvard) about how unexamined bias works and how it changes, as well as insights about approaches that have been shown to measurably alter behavior to become more humane and life-affirming.
First 50 attendees will receive a free copy of the book!
Reception and book signing to follow.
Co-sponsored by Media Lab Human Resources and the Program in Women’s and Gender Studies. Hosted by Prof. Tod Machover, Academic Head of Media Arts & Sciences.
