Focus on Bias: 2.20.19
The Office of Student Financial Aid distributes a weekly email focused on Implicit Bias with some videos to watch, articles to read, and other events around campus and the community that we encourage you to attend if your schedule allows.
Video of the Week: Intersections: Why Racial Inequality and Regional Economic Inequality Can’t Be Separated – https://www.brookings.edu/podcast-episode/why-racial-inequality-and-regional-economic-inequality-cant-be-separated/. This podcast takes about forty minutes to listen to.
Article of the Week: America’s Worsening Geographic Inequality – https://www.citylab.com/equity/2018/10/americas-worsening-geographic-inequality/573061/. This article delves into the same topics as the podcast and includes graphics to highlight the issues.
