Addressing Implicit Bias in Mediation
Description
Implicit bias refers to our automatic, even unintentional, attitudes or stereotypes that we unknowingly use to create shortcuts or make decisions more quickly and easily. However, because implicit bias has tremendous impact on decision making, it can also create a barrier to resolution during mediation. This CLE will explore the concept of implicit bias and look specifically at how implicit bias affects both the process and the outcome of mediations. The presenters will draw on their experience to provide real-world examples and information on how to create space and challenge implicit bias in an attempt to become more effective participants of mediation.
