About the Session

We will explore the historical origins and modern manifestations of systemic bias, emphasising how these biases permeate our everyday lives, often unconsciously. The presentation will use global and local examples, touching on various sectors such as employment, education, and digital access. Our discussion will also explore microaggressions: the subtle ways in which bias is communicated in everyday interactions.
