Unconscious Bias With Livingstone Thompson

We operate in an increasingly diverse context, engaging with people from different backgrounds and identities. As citizens, readers and writers, we can sometimes be unaware of bias and unwittingly perpetuate attitudes of discrimination.

In this session, you’ll gain a deeper understanding of what unconscious bias means for you, and for those around you.

Led by Livingstone Thompson, this interactive workshop will provide you with the tools to identify unconscious bias and take action to reduce its effects.
