Sidelining Bias: A Situationist Approach To Reduce the Consequences of Bias in Real-World Contexts

The Annenberg Institute will host Jason Okonofua, Assistant Professor at the University of California, Berkeley, for a discussion of his research on reducing the consequences of bias in real-world contexts. Drawing on social psychology, Dr. Okonofua will explore evidence-based approaches that shift the situations and systems in which decisions are made to help reduce the impact of bias. His talk will highlight research with implications for education and other public systems, examining how scalable interventions can promote more equitable outcomes.
