Join us for a virtual MBA Masterclass with Chicago Booth’s Jane L. Risen, the H.G.B. Alexander Professor of Behavioral Science.
Hear from Professor Risen as she discusses the psychological foundations of bias and their implications on workplace dynamics – key areas explored in her course
Diversity in Organizations.
Register for this session to (1) gain a deeper understanding of how unconscious psychological biases can (unintentionally) shape behavior and (2) identify strategies to mitigate their influence on behavior. Topics covered include discrimination, stereotypes, prejudice, and implicit bias and importantly, evidence-based tactics to prevent psychological biases from affecting our behavior in the workplace and beyond.
This session will not only be an excellent opportunity to hear some of Professor Risen's compelling insights on psychological bias, but also a chance to experience Chicago Booth's unique approach to business education. Please come prepared to participate in an active conversation. You are encouraged to turn on your video.
