What is implicit bias?

“What have you read this week that isn’t a book? I’ve been looking through @sage_publishing website which has a lot of great, open-access academic articles about police brutality and racial injustice. I think it’s so important to look at academic work...reading these studies help with understanding WHY/HOW these things happen so we can look at how we tackle it in a meaningful way.” 📸 @theslowbookblog

Juneteenth commemorates the end of slavery in the US. And over 150 years later, we are still fighting against the deep-seeded structural racism that prohibits true equality.

“Allyship is not just a branding exercise,” writes David Glasgow, the executive director of the Center for Diversity, Inclusion, and Belonging at NYU School of Law.

In higher education, a 2019 report by the American Council on Education found that only one in five full-time faculty were faculty of color. These statistics reflect the ongoing call to improve the academic pipeline so that it supports Black, Indigenous, and People of Color. Educational institutions must work to strengthen the diversity of their staff, putting valuable, anti-racist measures in place. And white educators must put in work themselves. We've compiled freely accessible resources from "The Guide for White Women Who Teach Black Boys" by Drs. Eddie Moore, Jr., Ali Michael, and Marguerite W. Penick-Parks to help educators do so. Access them all at the link in bio.
