Equity, Implicit Bias, and Microaggressions
Implicit biases refer to attitudes or stereotypes that affect our understanding and
decisions outside of our conscious control. Implicit biases may manifest in microaggressions,
which are subtle but generally offensive comments or actions directed at minoritized
individuals. Implicit biases and microaggressions create inequities and contribute
to an uncomfortable learning or working environment. This workshop introduces these
concepts to faculty and staff to increase their understanding of inequities on campus,
and it serves as a prerequisite for many other programs. It is offered as an online
self-paced workshop on Canvas. You can enroll at any point during the semester. It
should take approximately 1.5-2 hours (90-120 min) to complete; however, in order
to ensure we can respond to submissions in a timely manner, we ask that you complete
all modules within two weeks of enrolling. This workshop is for Faculty and Staff
at SDSU. At this point, we are not able to offer this workshop to other members of
the SDSU community including graduate or undergraduate students. If you are an SDSU
faculty or staff and are ready to start the workshop, please register here.
* NOTE: This is the training that satisfies the requirement many departments have for search committees. Faculty who have already completed this workshop can also satisfy the requirement with one of the workshops on Equity-Minded Hiring (see this flowchart)
The CIE logo is based on a symbol used throughout Mesoamerica by the Nahua, Mixtec, and other Indigenous people to indicate "noble speech". It is used in the codices to refer to a teacher/scribe/poet who is conveying knowledge. It is surrounded by a square signifying the mortarboard often associated with academic scholars.
