Shareable Videos
Our YouTube Channel includes publicly available videos with information about the bias habit-breaking training, abbreviated excerpts from the training, and related resources.
Two examples, seen here, are:
Introduction to Dr. Cox and Evidence-Based Bias Reduction Trainings - a brief overview of Dr. Cox’s background, including some of the research on the bias habit-breaking training, and our mission at Inequity Agents of Change
Accumulation of Bias - an animated excerpt from the training focused on the aspect of how incidents of bias are not isolated: “A big part of the issue is that individual incidents are not isolated experiences. In the context of race, many Black people report that even if a single instance of bias may not be catastrophic when considered in isolation, the frequency and accumulation of many bias incidents over time is exhausting and can be overwhelming.”
