Without bias mitigation, teaching, learning and institutional structures and practices undermine solidarity, peace and social justice. This webinar is not one-off unconscious bias training, about which there is increasing caution, but rather the opportunity to review and share approaches and ideas which may be transferrable interculturally and globally (Atewologun et al., 2018; Noon, 2018).
The workshop is particularly targeted at colleagues teaching and working in international Higher Education (HE) Institutions but, if you work outside of HE and think the webinar will be relevant for your organisation you are welcome to register.
