Virtual Program: Cultural Competency and Unconscious Bias

An Institute for Learning in Retirement (ILR 55+) virtual program. Implicit bias is the unconscious attribution of particular qualities to a member of a certain social group. Stereotypes are shaped by experience and based on learned associations between social categories including race and/or gender. Do you consider yourself biased? Learn how to recognize implicit (unconscious) bias, acknowledge it, and overcome it by reflecting on your own cultural perceptions and how they influence every aspect of life. With Elizabeth Ljubic. This course is offered for free through the ILR Program and is made possible by the Shirley Cruickshank Wolfe Fund. To sign up, please go to frederick.edu/ILR and search for the course.
