Focus on Bias: 6.13.19
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.
Podcast of the Week: Witness History: Stonewall Riots – https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/p0087s22. This podcast is nine minutes long and includes a witness describing the raids on the Stonewall Club in June 1969. If you want to learn more about the Stonewall Riots, we recommend watching the documentary American Experience: Stonewall Uprising – https://www.pbs.org/video/american-experience-stonewall-uprising/. It is about one hour and twenty-one minutes to watch.
