Northeast Ohio Regional Library System - Event Information
Event Name:
Single Story Bias
Competency:
Communication and Customer Service, Community and Patron Awareness, Diversity
Description:
We are aware of the ways in which we can most effectively serve diverse clients, but we aren’t always aware of the ways in which our unconscious biases can interfere. This program explores the “Single Story” bias and how it can negatively impact our interactions with others, especially when the bias is operating outside of our awareness. Single stories are single accounts or stereotypes that we hold about others, based on the social group we assume that they belong to. This workshop will explore this concept through interactive activities and discussions.
This is an introductory webinar.
