Join us for a discussion of breakthrough mind science research on racial bias, led by john a. powell, Director of the Haas Institute for a Fair and Inclusive Society at the University of California, Berkeley. In his presentation, john will explore the role that implicit bias, stereotype threat, and racial anxiety play in broader society, especially in education institutions and school districts. Dr. Beverly Daniel Tatum, President Emerita of Spelman College, will facilitate a conversation with john to examine how these racial bias dynamics play out in Atlanta schools, and how to address the negative impacts for children of color.
