by William T. L. Cox (Author)
An action-oriented, scientifically tested guide to confronting and overcoming bias.
Most anti-bias trainings offer empty words rather than effective, practical solutions. In this hopeful and accessible guide, scientist-practitioner William T. L. Cox breaks down the science behind stereotypes, bias, and the habits we form that perpetuate these cognitive traps in daily life. He highlights lessons from his empirically backed anti-bias training and provides actionable tools for preventing bias and speaking out in favor of diversity. Overcoming Bias Habits inspires us to be agents of change by making meaningful transformations in our behaviors and maintaining them over time. Focusing on individuals and our habits, however, does not mean ignoring the systems and institutions that perpetuate discrimination: Doing the work for ourselves empowers us to also hold institutions accountable and to effect genuine, lasting change in our schools, workplaces, and communities.Back Jacket

Belcher, MD, MHS, Johns Hopkins University "Cox has a rare gift for translating the science of bias and human behavior into ideas that are clear, useful, and relatable. He shines a light on how bias shows up in everyday life, all while staying grounded in what it means to be human."--Lisa Smith, Girl Scouts of the USA "This book offers us a fresh and practical toolkit for understanding and disrupting bias. Its shame-free approach makes complex concepts accessible, inspiring readers to reflect and act with empathy."--Brian Chaney, Chief of Police, Monona, WisconsinAuthor Biography
