Essay 4 At a Glance

In essay #3, you explained how implicit bias can negatively affect behavior and have damaging consequences by restating some of the main points in chapters 5,6, and 8 of Blindspot: Hidden Biases of Good People. You also imagined a possible real-life scenario in which you described mitigation strategies to reduce (ways to lessen the negative effect of) implicit bias. In this essay, we will uncover how implicit bias has impacted women in the field of STEM (Science, Technology, Education, and Mathematics) here in the United States.
