CS Tea Talk with Neem Serra

Thu, October 22, 2020 • 4:00pm - 4:45pm (45m) • Via Zoom

Neem Serra (iOS developer at Stitch Fix) will give a talk entitled 'Being a Cupcake in a Doughnut World: Understanding and Combating Unconscious Bias.'

Have you ever felt like you're a cupcake in a doughnut world because everyone around you seems nice but you feel out of place for some reason. Or, do you feel like you're a good person who is unaware of the negative ways that you affect people? Do you want to be better about creating an inclusive world? Unconscious biases affect our perceptions, decisions, and interactions every day. They’re the biases that we don’t actively realize that we have. How do we address biases if we don’t know about them? We’ll discuss how you can change the way you act today to actively work towards countering bias!
