Our brains naturally create shortcuts that simplify our lives. These shortcuts are created through our interpersonal interactions, consuming media, and even through education. In some cases, these shortcuts can be useful. They allow us to ride a bike without thinking about each and every step, but this process of creating shortcuts can also lead us to develop unconscious biases about other people. During this interactive lunch time discussion we will consider how to identify where we might be biased, discuss how biases might impact our workplaces and brainstorm strategies for ensuring our workplace is welcoming to everyone.\\n\\nYou will leave the session with lots to think about in preparation for Part 2 on December 12th. \\n \"", "startDate":"2018-11-28", "endDate":"2018-11-28", "startTime":"12:00", "endTime":"13:00", "location":"Mike & Ophelia Lazaridis Quantum-Nano Centre (QNC) 1507 - 200 University Ave W Waterloo ON N2L 3G1 Canada", "label":"Add to Calendar", "options":[ "Apple", "Google", "iCal", "Microsoft365", "Outlook.com", "Yahoo" ], "timeZone":"US/Eastern", "trigger":"click", "inline":true, "listStyle":"modal", "iCalFileName":"invite.ics" }
