Gaining an understanding of our own bias is critical in moving us forward towards increased equity. This talk will focus on understanding our implicit biases through a proposed behavior analytic framework. Instead of considering implicit biases as “good” or “bad,” we will seek to understand how biases become learned. Literature focusing on implicit biases and self-reflection will be reviewed, and we will discuss measures behavior analytic organizations have taken to date towards diversity equity, and inclusion. The speaker will share her own observed biases and will investigate how to engage in behaviors that will alter our instructional history towards a broader cultural evolution of equity and social justice. Self-reflection protocols will be reviewed. It should be noted that the discussion presented here may be highly sensitive; audience participation is strongly encouraged

About the Presenter
This was an incredibly layered and complex topic to address. The. presenter did an excellent job of presenting the material in an accessible way. I am taking away immediate action items for myself and have a better scaffold for self-reflection in my own practice. Highly recommend this talk.
I loved every part of this training. The presenter shared with such vulnerability and provided important insights in the research and clear tools and strategies for how we can all do better.
What a great presentation. I so appreciated the speaker's thoughtfulness, personal reflection as well as research shared. This one will really stick with me!
As a south asian immigrant, I am so proud that these discussions are finally happening. This course beautifully described the innate biases and the tools which you need to work on them. I love the literature review that was done. I highly recommend this course to every behaviour analyst, no matter where you are from. And Dr. Syed, I am a fan of yours.
This was an awesome and humble perspective thank you to all who put this on!
Thank you so much for this presentation and your hard work in the field. I have been a little lost as a BCBA over the past few years, and your presentation gave me that little bit of hope to keep on pushing, advocating, and learning. Thank you again ~
A lot of great research and a very interesting topic but not a lot of "take aways" for me, personally.
I really enjoyed the personal examples it took a lot to share those feelings but I think it gave a personal aspect to this topic which is really needed to help understand how these implicit biases affect people
One of the best ethics courses that I have taken. I thoroughly enjoyed the material and feel that it will improve my overall service delivery.
Wonderful! So moving and informative providing MANY thought proving questions and ideas, as well as, many additional resources. I would absolutely recommend this webinar to everyone!!
