CANCELED: Implicit Bias in Search and Selection Processes

Following the University’s current decision to suspend in-person instruction due to concerns around COVID-19, we are canceling all OED workshops, effective Monday, March 16 - April 1, 2020. Due to the nature and content of our workshops, we are unable to provide online offerings at this time.

We will be working with campus partners to determine if these restrictions need to change or be extended, and will provide additional information as needed. OED’s education website will also provide up-to-date information. 

Please feel free to reach out with any questions to [email protected].

-----------------------------------


Departments across the University of Minnesota regularly participate in searches and selection processes. The university is committed to increasing diversity among its staff, faculty, and students in admissions, promotions, scholarship decisions, and other related selection processes. The presence of implicit bias in these processes can inhibit this goal. This workshop will expose participants to the breadth of implicit bias research and will help them recognize shorts cuts that are the result of unconscious or unexamined bias. Participants will learn promising practices and resources for addressing implicit bias in the context of search and selection processes.
