Unconscious bias, or implicit thought patterns, influences how we perceive, assess, and collaborate with others. In interdisciplinary and culturally diverse research teams, a variety of professional perspectives, experiences, communication styles, and expectations converge. This workshop covers the basics of unconscious bias, identifies common thought patterns, and encourages participants to reflect on their own patterns of perception and evaluation. Together, we will explore how unconscious assumptions can affect communication, collaboration, and decision-making in work and research settings.

Schwerpunkte
  • Fundamentals of Unconscious Bias: Origins, Function, and Typical Unconscious Thought Patterns
  • Reflection on one’s own patterns of perception, evaluation, and decision-making
  • Effects of unconscious bias on communication, collaboration, and decision-making processes in diverse, international, and interdisciplinary teams
Lernziele
  • I understand what unconscious bias is, how it arises, and how it influences my perceptions and decisions.
  • I can recognize and critically reflect on my own assumptions and typical bias patterns.
  • I can assess the potential effects of unconscious bias on communication, collaboration, and decision-making in diverse and interdisciplinary teams and develop strategies to address these effects in my daily work.
