Student Aware Lund: I’m not prejudiced, I’m flipping great

Students Aware Lund invites you to a workshop evening!

You're not prejudiced are you? Nope nor me...

In this epoch of social justice warriors, gender equality and righteousness signalling, the very idea that admitting to have any prejudices is the equivalent of social suicide in liberal circles.

However each of us may have implicit, unconscious preferences and prejudices from our years of cultural encoding. Research from some social psychologists on the underlying emotional decision making we all prescribe to is worthy of discussion...

Through this workshop we hope to use Harvard's 'Project Implicit' to delve into some our collective depths and get some discussion going on this contemporary and delicate topic.

‘The Implicit Association Test (IAT) measures attitudes and beliefs that people may be unwilling or unable to report. The IAT may be especially interesting if it shows that you have an implicit attitude that you did not know about. For example, you may believe that women and men should be equally associated with science, but your automatic associations could show that you (like many others) associate men with science more than you associate women with science’.
