Description
Biased by Jennifer Eberhardt Unconscious biases affect us all, yet we often fail to treat people equally. This is not because we are unfair-minded, but because our perceptions and behaviour are subtly influenced by deep-seated assumptions. In this groundbreaking book, social psychologist Jennifer Eberhardt explains how these biases impact every sector of society, from education to the courtroom. Eberhardt's work has the power to shift the debate around race and help us think about ourselves and the world we want to create. By understanding the role of unconscious bias, we can begin to overcome it and build a more just society. This is not a book about condemning biases, but about harnessing their potential for good. Groundbreaking and essential reading for anyone interested in how we become a more just society, Biased offers a fresh perspective on one of the most pressing issues of our time.
