ALANYC Diversity, Equity & Inclusion Book Club Meeting
Thursday January 18, 2024 | 12 – 1 pm | Virtual Meeting

For the next installment of ALANYC's DEI Book Club series, we will discuss Blindspot: Hidden Biases of Good People by authors Mahzarin R. Banaji and Anthony G. Greenwald. We hope you can join us and invite others to attend.

From the Publisher:

I know my own mind.
I am able to assess others in a fair and accurate way.

These self-perceptions are challenged by leading psychologists Mahzarin R. Banaji and Anthony G. Greenwald as they explore the hidden biases we all carry from a lifetime of exposure to cultural attitudes about age, gender, race, ethnicity, religion, social class, sexuality, disability status, and nationality.

“Blindspot” is the authors’ metaphor for the portion of the mind that houses hidden biases. Writing with simplicity and verve, Banaji and Greenwald question the extent to which our perceptions of social groups—without our awareness or conscious control—shape our likes and dislikes and our judgments about people’s character, abilities, and potential.

In Blindspot, the authors reveal hidden biases based on their experience with the Implicit Association Test, a method that has revolutionized the way scientists learn about the human mind and that gives us a glimpse into what lies within the metaphoric blindspot.

Available via hard copy, paperback and e-Reader here.
