Our brains are wired to categorize everything we see, including people. It is important for us to continuously work and reflect on stereotypes and assumptions we hold – especially those we do not easily notice. This course will illustrate how stereotypes and assumptions can create blind spots, play a role in discrimination, and provide steps for avoiding them.
