Tuesday, June 25th, 2013
7:00 PM to 9:00 PM

In Blindspot, hidden biases that we all carry from a lifetime of experiences with social groups � age, gender, race, ethnicity, religion, social class, sexuality, disability status, or nationality, are explored.

�Blindspot� is a metaphor to capture that portion of the mind that houses hidden biases � exploring the extent to which social groups � without our awareness or conscious control � shape our likes and dislikes, our judgments about people�s character, abilities, and potential.

�Good People� are the many people � our speaker included � who strive to align their behavior with their good intentions. The aim of Blindspot is to explain the science in plain enough language to allow well-intentioned people to better achieve that alignment.

All registrations include a copy of the book!

Coming to this event is an invitation to understand your own mind.
