As human beings, there are probably a number of reasons we evolved with bias coded into our DNA. Being programmed to temper our curiosity with caution when encountering people, places, and things unlike ourselves in a big and strange and unexplored world may have played a part in ensuring that the legacy of “our” people continued for successive generations. But as that world becomes smaller and more familiar, this bias that served us well in the past hinders us from progressing forward as a species. We shouldn’t be ashamed of the bias that remains a part of our programming, but we should acknowledge, understand, and strive to counter its effect. But where do we begin? On this episode, we’re joined by Stanford University social psychologist Dr. Jennifer L. Eberhardt, author of Biased: Uncovering the Hidden Prejudice That Shapes What We See, Think, and Do. Here, we discuss addressing racial disparities and inequities in our neighborhoods, institutions, and criminal justice system and examine how we can alleviate our own role in perpetuating these all-too-tangible consequences of bias.
