If you're human, you're biased. Now what? "The Bias Inside Us" is an exhibit exploring the social science, psychology, and consequences of implicit bias.
This free exhibit – on display at the Columbus Public Library from July 2 through July 31 during normal business hours – understands that bias is an innate human trait; we all have it. Being aware of our bias can help us recognize their influence and impact on our behaviors and worldview.
The Bias Inside Us offers an opportunity to learn how to challenge bias in the world through awareness of one’s own bias.
