Dr. Jennifer L. Eberhardt, author of Biased: Uncovering the Hidden Prejudice That Shapes What We See, Think, and Do, probes the workings of our brain to discover how implicit biases form and influence our everyday decisions. Implicit bias is when we unconsciously attribute particular qualities to members of a social group. We may not realize the assumptions we’re making about people from different races, genders, ability status, and more. But we all do it, and it impacts the choices that we make every day.
