Check myself regularly so I can come down from the top of the ladder when I jump to conclusions based on my biases

I thought it was interesting so many students can relate to the racial divide that appears in the cafeteria. I would like to discuss this more and what we can do in the fall (if in person) to navigate discussions with students

Understanding where implicit biases play out in my life because of how I have been socialized, but instead of just acknowledging, actively working against those biases in my own life and in the classroom.

We all have biases ingrained in our minds, only active introspection and checking our actions will allow us to unlearn those biases

Taking time to interrogate my own biases and how that feeds into my actions.

I feel like I learn so much from each of you. I am honored to be among you.

The ladder is a good way for me to think about biases playing out, because it allows for taking a step back to reevaluate and reframe the situation. (also 'step' and 'frame' fit the analogy hahah)

I would like to do more pre-determined scenarios

I learned the latter, and how even though you might not think so we have to evaluate ourselves in all situations to ensure we are not placing forth/ acting on our bias

# data[].attributes.body
I' grateful to Aliah, Zenobia, and CJ for highlighting the important role of community spaces and fellowship for black students

The ladder is a big Ah-Ha moment for me. It is giving me alot to think about going forward

Checking ourselves and constantly reflecting is important but having the ladder to think through our biases and observations and how those manifest themselves.

# data[].attributes.body
Thanks to everyone who shared with the whole group, especially Amanda!

# data[].attributes.body
The ladder and example really made me think how we arrive at such intense emotions such as anger (even though it feels like an instant) and how its a buildup of learned behaviors and responses

Today I learned about affinity bias. Although it can be a mode of survival for me, I should also be aware of it and make sure I am not harming others because of it.

more practical examples and talking through scenarios as a group!

I'd like to continue understanding about biases and how they affect us
