From implicit bias training for campus decision-makers to helping faculty design racially inclusive classrooms, creating an antiracist environment at IU Indianapolis is an ongoing process. We continually offer new diversity training and education opportunities that engage students, administrators, staff, faculty, and the wider Indianapolis community.
The Division of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion is partnering with the Center for Teaching and Learning to create a Campus Read track for faculty and lecturers. We have previously partnered for various development opportunities and both units have supported similar reading group programs. By working together, we are able to better craft a comprehensive program focused on practical strategies for promoting equity in the college classroom.

Implicit biases are defined by the Kirwin Institute as attitudes or stereotypes that are activated unconsciously and involuntarily. They are not the same as biases a person might try to hide because they're unpopular or socially incorrect. Social scientists believe implicit biases are learned as young as age three and may be fueled by stereotypes perpetrated by the media, or beliefs passed along by parents, peers, and other community members.
