Implicit Bias: one that is relatively inaccessible to conscious awareness and/or control. For example, even if you say that men and women are equally good at math, it is possible that you associate math more strongly with men without being actively aware of it. (Project Implicit)
Stereotypes: the belief that most members of a group have some characteristic. Some examples of stereotypes are the belief that women are nurturing or the belief that police officers like donuts. (Project Implicit)
Most of the collaborators responsible for adapting this guide are white women who benefit from white supremacist systems, and there are limits and hidden biases at work that stem from our privileges and perspectives. We have attempted to bring together quality, relevant resources on diversity, equity, inclusion, and anti-racism for the Clark community, and we welcome feedback and suggestions for the guide, particularly from the perspectives and experiences of Black, Indigenous, and non-Black People of Color (BIPOC) members of the Clark community.
