About. In February 2020, we invited Dr. Tracey Benson to lead a workshop on recognizing and challenging our own biases in educational settings. Video from the workshop, information about Dr. Benson's book, “Unconscious Bias in Schools: A Developmental Approach to Exploring Race and Racism,” and TEDx Talk, "The Binary Code of Racism" are linked below.
We all hold racial biases. Racial bias can be formed both implicitly and explicitly, and can be passed on generationally. The good non-racist/bad racist binary frames how we perceive ourselves and how bias can impact our daily interactions with others. Tracey Benson leverages his experience as an educator to challenge us to become more aware of our own biases and challenge ourselves to make society safer for each other.
