Dr. Patricia Devine: Breaking the Habit of Bias

How do we move forward as a community now that we know we are biased? WFF, SWIM, MORE, and the School of Medicine’s DEI Office are sponsoring a workshop on “Breaking the Habit of Bias,” January 28th with Dr. Patricia Devine, psychology professor and director of the Prejudice and Intergroup Relations Lab at the Univ. of Wisconsin-Madison. Together, we will explore solutions and tools to make long-term changes in professional climate, hiring, and retention.

Dr. Devine’s work was highlighted in this piece in The Atlantic. You can also view the WFF website for a description of the workshop modules and a paper by Devine et al. on the impact of the training on increasing faculty diversity.
