In preparation for the session, we recommend participants undertake an online implicit association assessment which will provide an insight into Unconscious Bias.
Project Implicit was founded in the United States as a multi-university research collaboration in 1998. It continues to conduct applied research concerning thoughts and feelings that occur outside of conscious awareness or control.
Individuals are able to undertake short assessments on the demonstration website in about ten minutes at no cost.
The assessments can be accessed at https://implicit.harvard.edu/implicit/uk/
Please direct any enquiries regarding these assessments to equality@admin.cam.ac.uk
