Implement tested strategies for undermining unconscious biases.
Many people understand that diversity and unconscious bias are important issues to grapple with, but it’s difficult to get a strong handle on them. For years, social scientists have turned their attention to stereotyping and discrimination in order to use data and scientific methods to know more about why it happens and how to stop it.
What You’ll Learn
In this course we consider big ideas in diversity science with a focus on understanding concrete strategies to halt bias in its tracks. To know how to solve a problem, though, it’s necessary to understand the root of the problem. This course thus considers several major issues in diversity and unconscious bias, including:
- The difference between stereotypes, prejudice, and discrimination
- How stereotypes affect judgments of others and our own performance
- How prejudice stems from simple group mentalities
- How to best approach diversity
- How to reduce the effects of conscious and unconscious bias
Through comprehensive videos, slide presentations, exercises, and quizzes, you will learn about the fascinating science of prejudice and discrimination. This course is modeled on university curricula and workplace training that you could spend thousands of dollars on.

This was a great course, it really illustrates some of the science about how the mind works. I tend to look at these things from a biology standpoint as well, considering such studies as the one where Rats were less likely to kill mice if they’d been exposed to them during their respective youths.

A VERY interesting course. I wanted to understand more about this topic. You are a great instructor. You explained all of the topics so thoroughly and made them so easy to understand. Now it is time to apply the topics, lol.

Very US centric. And as others have commented, I felt it a bit awkward being instructed about diversity and racial bias from a white male, no matter the good intentions. There are many interesting elements here to reflect over. But they are presented in a way that leaves little room for engagement brides the somewhat meaningless quiz at the end of each chapter and DIY activities that I imagine few have the will or time to initiate anyways. That said, the topic is extremely important, but I sincerely think it could have been put together in a more engaging way, and would rather it be presented from a diverse cast of lecturers to reflect the nature of the topic itself.

there was a question in section two that references a study not in the lesson [ What was one of the key findings of the “shooter bias” study? ] Unless i totally missed it, there was no mention of shooter bias in the preceeding lesson

Pros: good material, good examples, subjects are explained well.
Cons: could be summarized, presenter extends too much on some topics.

I think that the contents of the course is well structured, flows well and has made me think and reflect – which is a positive outcome. It could be even better if there was a little more activity based opportunities and/or if there was more digital media content that adds variety to the presentation style. I am able to apply the content to my own context, but as someone who is working and living in the UK – it would have been nice to have more breadth of examples that were also pertinent to a UK demographic?
Barbara Conner –
I liked his examples and wording, I think this is one of those topics many people feel awkward about, mostly because they don’t look from the other side. It’s not easy, but I am learning.

It was good, really liked to understand Stereotype Threat. As Brazilian I would like to add a suggestion, people who present this kind of content should try to use North American instead of White. There are some Latin Americans that are white and some that are black too.

Very relevant topic in today’s world. Personally it helped be get a better understanding of how to approach specific situations. Hopefully i can share some of these with my children as well
Rajen Babubhai Choudhari –
before the quiz, you are doing good job of summarizing the learning. could you make single document for such summary for the course as well?
C Morris –
Excellent course. Got a lot out of it, and enjoyed it too. I was curious as to why Native Americans did not feature at all – not even in the color-blind soup or multicultural salad graphics.
EWERTON XAVIER DE FREITAS –
Such wonderful course! It is possible to learn a lot of concepts in just 2 hours and half. Furthermore, this course gives you base to make society better.
