On December 4th, Fellows gathered at Barrington Area Library to dive deeper into unconscious or implicit bias — and how to disrupt with curiosity. Dr. Arin N. Reeves of Nextions led a fill-in-the-blank exercise and offered the following questions for self-reflection:
What is one bias that people have about you?
When does this bias show up?
How do you deal with it?
How can you deal with it in the future?
For a recap of Dr. Reeves’ session on Cultivating Curiosity, read the article & watch the video here.
