Implicit biases and how we view the children in our care.
This presentation will discuss research on biases, representation, expectations, and empathy. Specific examples will be used to help describe what these concepts look like in real-world interactions. Although much of the research on biases has been conducted regarding race and gender, connections will be made to how we may view others who are differently abled or from different cultural groups, including the deaf culture. We will also explore when biased behaviors become systemic norms and practices, as well as how to identify these systemic challenges. Finally, issues of equity in linguistic expression and choice will be discussed.
- Participants will better explain how biases are formed and how they impact our interactions with others.
- Participants will identify ways in which biases have been instantiated into care practices.
- Participants will consider ways in which they may address biases and how they interact with children and families and how systems can be made more responsive to clients across a range of cultural contexts.
