This is part of our series titled Stronger Together: Promoting Racial Justice through Awareness and Action. 

Stronger Together will provide UF faculty and staff with a series of educational offerings to help them better understand and address racism and bias and help promote racial justice at the individual, institutional, and systemic levels. The context of fostering awareness, building capacity, and promoting action will weave throughout the offerings. This series will help UF move forward in efforts to combat anti-black racism and to promote a more diverse and inclusive campus.  

This week’s podcast is titled Recognizing and Addressing Implicit Bias with Dr. Xirau-Probert. In this episode,  we will review the science and research related to unconscious bias, identify how biases and processes of the unconscious mind can impact relationships, increase awareness of your own background and its impact on your perceptions so you are better able to advocate for inclusion in your organization, and identify strategies for practicing more conscious awareness individually and organizationally.
