Episode #36: This show is a follow-up to a two-part series we produced in 2020 that examined the effects of racism on mental health. Now after more than a year of race-related protests, social and political unrest and many social change efforts, we reconvene to discuss the progress we've made and haven't made in undoing racism. Our guests are back to talk about what has changed for them personally, what changes they've seen systemically and what work now needs to happen in order to create communities that support mental health and well– being for people of color. Guest- host Gail Borkowski welcomes back Black community members: activist Joy Flynn, psychologist Dr. Robert Bartee, and educator activist Jason Seals. We hear about how they have been impacted by the events of the last year, including the sentencing of the officer responsible for the murder of  George Floyd, the presidential election, the insurrection at the US Capitol, and the vandalism of the Black Lives Matter mural in Santa Cruz. Guests discuss what they see happening in our communities, the changes they'd like to see and helpful resources. This show encourages us all to listen deeply in order to grasp the impacts of racism on our fellow humans and to take personal actions to dismantle racism and build communities that support health and well– being for Blacks and people of color. This is Part 3 of a series on Racism & Mental Health.

I am excited to be joined today by an utterly fascinating guest, Modupe Akinola! Modupe is an Associate Professor of Management at Columbia Business School where she also serves as the Director of Sanford C. Bernstein & Co. Center for Leadership & Ethics. Additionally, she is the host of the incredibly popular, TED Business Podcast, and has written for numerous academic journals.   What I love about Modupe is that she asked herself early in her career, ‘What are the things I’ve always loved?” And took stock. She listened to her gut, got comfortable with the uncomfortable, took a courageous leap of faith, and followed her true passion in life.   In our conversation together today, Modupe shares about the ways in which she is a leader, her philosophy in life, how she leads in the five dimensions of leadership (know yourself, expand your consciousness, speak your truth, activate your mastery, and inspire love), how she discovered her unique strengths, and what she wants the world to know as a black woman, scholar, and leader.   Key Takeaways: [:49] About today’s episode with special guest, Modupe Akinola.

[20:44] We all have a choice — but it takes a lot of courage. [22:13] Modupe’s philosophy in life. [25:27] One of the five dimensions of leadership is ‘expand consciousness.’  What does consciousness mean to Modupe? How does it intersect with her philosophy in life? [27:07] The importance of being grateful and expressing gratefulness.[29:55] How did Modupe discover her strengths? [33:40] As a black woman, scholar, and leader, what does Modupe want other people to understand about race and gender around the world? [38:27] The responsibility that we also need to take as black people in order to heal. [41:16] Modupe shares about a recent interview she led with Jennifer Eberhardt on understanding and disrupting racial biases. In this interview, they also discuss this concept of ‘friction.’ Modupe shares what this means and gives some examples.

We’re trying to have more meaningful conversations about racism as a country. Part of that means talking about implicit bias — assumptions and stereotypes that may influence our decisions and actions without us even realizing it. Implicit bias can have many harmful consequences: The customer who’s accused of stealing; the grad student being told they’re in the wrong room; the driver being pulled over for no reason. And in some cases, these biases can lead to violence. On this episode, we explore what implicit bias means — what it is, how we can test for it, and what we can do about it. We hear stories about whether or not anti-bias training actually works, the origins — and criticisms — of Harvard’s Implicit Association Test, and where our biases actually come from. Also heard on this week’s episode: Stanford University social psychologist Jennifer Eberhardt talks about the ways implicit biases have affected her own life, and how she tries to educate people about them in her work. Her book is “Biased: Uncovering the Hidden Prejudice That Shapes What We See, Think, and Do.” Evolutionary psychologist Corey Cook from Pacific Lutheran University discusses the evolutionary origins of biases. He argues that they likely developed as a way to assess threats. We hear from Harvard psychologist Mahzarin Banaji, one of the researchers who helped develop the Implicit Association Test, about the humbling experience of confronting her own biases. Her book is “Blind Spot – Hidden Biases of Good People.” White people aren’t the only ones with implicit biases — that’s what Brennan Center for Justice fellow Ted Johnson discovered when he took Harvard’s Implicit Association Test a few years ago. In this story, we hear what the test taught Johnson about himself, and about the nature of racism. Johnson’s Atlantic essay is called “Black-on-Black Racism: The Hazards of Implicit Bias.“ Despite its popularity, the Implicit Association Test has drawn criticism over the years. Is it really an accurate way of measuring biases? Olivia Goldhill, a science reporter for Quartz, helps us dive into the history of the IAT, and its critiques. Neurologists Anjan Chatterjee and Roy Hamilton of the University of Pennsylvania discuss an app they’ve used to try and change people’s biases.

https://determineourfuture.com/Determine Our Future's Facebook group page (search “Determine Our Future”)@LParkerPierce#determineourfutureIn this second episode, I tackle the difficult question of how to talk to our kids about racism. As someone who looks mostly white, and is not Black or Latinx, how do I teach my children about racism, and how to be an antiracist? I have been looking hard for resources to help me teach myself and my family. And I found that the resources are there; we just have to go looking for them. I hope that I have provided some great suggestions and resources for all of us. Let's get started.Credits:“How to be an Antiracist” by Dr. Ibram X.

“When you push people to be colorblind, not only are you pushing them to not see color; you’re pushing them to not see the harm that comes from color,” says Jennifer Eberhardt, PhD. Eberhardt is a social psychologist, a Stanford professor, and the author of Biased, a thoroughly researched, compelling, and comprehensive book on uncovering prejudice and addressing it. Everyone is affected by racial bias, says Eberhardt, but you can learn to override it. Today, she shares critical facts, tools, and strategies that anyone can (and should) use to be part of a meaningful solution. (For more, see The goop Podcast hub.)

Dr. Jennifer Eberhart, author of the best-selling book “Biased: Uncovering the Hidden Prejudice That Shapes What We See, Think, and Do,” joins Janet to discuss how racial bias develops in the brain and creates disparities in our neighborhoods, schools, workplaces, and the criminal justice system. As the mother of three sons, Jennifer has also witnessed the effects of bias in real time. She and Janet explore some of the steps parents can take to combat the development of bias in their children. "Preschoolers are picking this up and determining who's a good person, who's a bad person… They need our help in comprehending what's going on around them and helping them to make sense of it." Jennifer is a Stanford University professor and a faculty director of SPARQ , a university initiative to use social psychological research to address pressing social problems. She has been named a MacArthur Fellow, one of “Foreign Policy”’s 100 Leading Global Thinkers, and elected to both the American Academy of Arts and Sciences and the National Academy of Sciences.

This is a collection of recorded one-on-one consultations with parents discussing their most immediate and pressing concerns (www.SessionsAudio.com).

Here I think through some of the pitfalls of our common uses of both bias and privilege. Two discourses that sit at the forefront of how we talk about racism. Here I turn to the work of Jennifer Eberhardt to pivot our conversation of bias away from a narrow consideration of cognitive function and thinking about the relationship between cognition, culture, and society. Ultimately, this episode serves as a preamble towards unpacking how we make the claim for the racial injustice of the death of George Floyd and so many others like her.

Black lives matter. And not just in the abstract. When given the proper space and support, Black investors can materially improve portfolio returns. But that almost never happens. In aggregate, only about 1% of the $70 Trillion managed by professional investors is overseen by minority-owned firms. On this episode of Free Money, we were fortunate to speak with Daryn Dodson, a Managing Director at Illumen Capital who knows perhaps more than anyone else what needs to be changed in order to create a more equitable future. We spoke on Friday, June 5th. And because the perspective he shared was so valuable, we decided to dispense with our regular essay and include a transcript of the conversation instead. Enjoy!Ashby Monk (10:44): We were just kind of talking through the issues of the week, obviously a pretty heavy week out there and wanted to connect with somebody who could really explain a couple of things. You know, why the asset owner community isn't doing more to support the managers that are people of color, but even before we get there, how are you doing?Daryn Dodson (11:13):I am a hosting a group in a conversation of a hundred billion dollars in asset allocators to put a through line from slavery to lynching, to mass incarceration, to tuck that into the asset management overlay so that people can understand how assets got to be so imbalanced and the huge disparities that lead to suboptimal returns for our portfolios. They also violate fiduciary duty. We have about 30 hours of work over the weekend. So I just finished the opening session. We offer for a lot of our investors at Illumen Capital something called the Illumen impact experience to bring them together, to put these dots together. So I'm heartened by that work. A lot of this is doing the work to move capital in ways that's optimal as I've worked with Dr. Jennifer Eberhart, and as well as Dr. Ashby monk to hit to work on this paper, uh, with a few other authors, really to prove and show the bias managers of color face as they increase performance, particularly black managers. So after we proved that in a paper and published it, then the question becomes, what do we do about it? A lot of people are making statements all over the country around how they value communities of color and black communities. But when you look at their balance sheets, I've been kind of thinking about things like, not public statements, but balance statements and financial statements, and whether those mirror the statements that people are making publicly. So that's something we believe in as a firm at Illumen Capital. It's something that is evidenced in the paper that we published. It's something that we share with our investors, who currently manage over a trillion dollars in capital so that they can begin to apply these ideas to their broader portfolio.Sloane Ortel (13:15):Let me just hone in on a sub point of that. I think throughout history, whether through red lining or another process, you might want to name, the financial community has been a big player in perpetuating inequality, perpetuating in effect segregation. Is it still happening in your view?Daryn Dodson (13:31):In terms of my background, I spent three years, with the center for responsible lending and 60 attorneys passing laws to reduce predatory lending. And we also proved through a data-driven hypothesis and execution of $6 billion in loan pools and proof points, the low income women and people of color, particularly black and Latino communities were overcharged for mortgage loans. And we wrote several papers about that back then, that led to the shifting of 18 laws across the country, based on the evidence of the overcharging and taxing of the number one way in which low-income particularly black communities reached the middle class, which is home ownership. So systematic overcharging above risk on communities, where when you overlay GIS statistical mapping data with different mortgage databases to prove that indeed banks were overcharging families, mothers, fathers that were black and Latino relative to their white counterparts and their biggest opportunity to create wealth in their life.And is it still happening? Part of the reason I went to business school at Stanford business school, it was because I was sick from seeing the practices in the mortgage lending markets. And after working with a team of 60 attorneys to pass national frameworks, watch businesses transform and change those laws back and undercut a lot of the laws that were on the books to protect well income homeowners. So now in this strategy at Illumen capital we invest in 10 private equity funds, systematically require and partner with them to do 10 years of implicit bias reduction work as a part of our investment and unlock the impact and returns within our portfolio is a part of our systemic change. Since the passing of laws do not work to sustain those protections against women and people of color, particularly black people.Sloane Ortel (15:32):That's fascinating. And in the process of doing that, you must encounter tons of people who come into it thinking they're not racially biased, but yeah, nonetheless, make these racially skewed decisions, whether it's where to get a cup of coffee or who to back, how do you counteract that tangibly?Daryn Dodson (15:50):Well, I think the most interesting thing is that they don't realize that they're leaving returns on the table. So they may not realize that they're racially biased, but what is the incentive to reduce the bias? One is that you miss the people in the human condition, that maybe are wonderful additions to your life. The other is you missed your fiduciary duty to invest the billion or trillion dollar corpus on behalf of the communities, whether they're pension funds or retirement programs or foundation endowments or family offices or university endowments. And I think that there's a long way to go in university endowments and pension funds as Ashby knows, I think better than most in the world And that's part of the reason why we partnered together with Ash and, you know, his incredible work and research cross pension funds. So take a deep look and help them to understand that unless they do the work, we are going to leave money on the table. And not only that they'll sort of undercut the best fund managers that are in their pipeline, through their biases without doing the work.Ashby Monk (17:03):Yeah. That has been such a rewarding project for me in part, because we've been able to make the case quite clearly, that they're leaving returns on the table. They're not assessing all of the opportunities in the same manner, which means that any bias, we see them investing and we have many biases, right? There's status quo bias, there's geographic bias, home bias. This is a bias that distorts the decision making of investors, asset allocators. We showed that in the PNAS study. And so we can go back to them and say, look, you're leaving money on the table. It's your fiduciary duty now to build processes that reduce this implicit bias so that you can maximize the performance. But Darren, I really want to hear a little bit more about, Illumen loved hearing the kind of prior narrative about your, I didn't actually know that story.Sloane Ortel (17:54):That was just wild.Ashby Monk (17:57):That's what sent you to go study with us at Stanford, but what are you doing now with Illumen? I think it's such a compelling story that maybe you could just do, you know, 30, 45 seconds on, on Illumen.Daryn Dodson (18:09):Sure. Illumen capital is a private equity venture capital fund of funds. We'll select, uh, 10 managers that are working on different themes of transformation within key systemic leverage points within the world. They vary from themes around financial innovation, inclusive financial innovation. I'll just put that in there due to my background and experience in watching the extractive financial innovation, environmental transformation on transit, improve outcomes and health outcomes in communities around the world. We also are invested in some of the leading ed tech firms in the world who, of course, if they don't reduce bias, the AI and machine learning the acceleration of algorithms will repeat the same biases that are present in school systems. Many listeners may know that for X amount of black students are currently expelled relative to their white peers within that school system currently in K-8 reading levels, school levels. And if we repeat those biases within the minds of the teachers as we build these technologies, that's a huge challenge for business models because the federal government likes to see things grow in ways that are equitable, but it's also a huge challenge generally for those of us that love equity and justice and inclusion.So part of what Illumen Capital has done from inception is it also includes a partnership with Stanford SPARQ and Dr. Jennifer Eberhardt's research center. She's one of the leading thinkers on implicit bias in the world. And in fact, published the book bias, which were included in, and part of the reason why that's so important, it was because that we knew when we went out to, uh, work on the thesis that Ashby and I worked on with Dr. Eberhart found that and on our journey that without a credible backing from a fabulous institution like Stanford, it would be difficult for people to believe something that by definition that they could not see, which is actually what bias is. So we have to make that palpable, tangible, help him to see it, which is the mission of our partnership with Stanford, for finding the tools to reduce bias within the investments that we make.Sloane Ortel (20:35):I'm just fascinated. It occurs to me that some of our listeners may think that we're talking about essentially a philanthropic activity, even though it's a pure private equity fund of funds. I wonder if you could tell us a story of like, from intervention through to internal rate of return of how this sort of intervention made money?Daryn Dodson (20:54):Yeah. I think, um, you know, we're, we're, we're two years in right now, so it's quite early, but Hey, you know, some of the early evidences that we've seen managers invest in companies that they wouldn't otherwise have seen without our process, much of the work that we do is confidential. And the reason why that is, is because we believe there's $35 trillion in undervalued assets within the $70 trillion in the asset management business. And because we have a competitive strategy to help people see how those undervalued assets work, we don't reveal kind of the process of reducing bias within our firm to those other than the investors that we have. I think, you know, it'd be like Google putting its algorithm out there and saying, this is our algorithm. But let me see if I can help on a, you know, a previous career example, you know, there's a education tech company that's in front of, uh, 90% of all kids in the country. The potential of them to realize what I just said around the 4x expulsion rates of black kids before they begin a strategy to go in and put images in front of kids by translating the New York times wall street journal and other reading material to kids on K through eight level. Imagine if the New York times were translated in front of kids today, and it doesn't take much to imagine how you'd need to filter out the images that could destroy the future imagination and capacity of kids to overcome the images that they're seeing of people that look like them, particularly for black kids as they’re kind of taking in the images across the country and the world. So without kind of thinking together around strategies like that the business model breaks because the company is reinforcing biases and instead of unlocking the imagination innovations are the future within the minds children rather than reducing them and allowing that forcing function that we need as a society to take place.Ashby Monk (23:00):That's great. I might ask another question here on, I think we run this podcast largely because we're trying to talk about, you know, the biggest investors in the world, pension funds, sovereign funds and the system of capitalism that we're all a part of today is increasingly powered by these big longterm investors. They provide the capital to the professional money managers, which in turn provide money to companies and projects that need it. And this chain of intermediaries kind of flows through the entire system. And so unraveling all of this is kind of part of what we're trying to do with this podcast. Darren is we're trying to like explain what pension funds and sovereign funds are to the world that, you know, so that they can understand this system of capitalism, what I've noticed and the work that I've done around climate change is that the forest fires in California and the, the fires in Australia, terrible crises have, have forced the trustees of these fiduciary bound investors to start to take climate change seriously. Is there a moment now where this is a moment similar to the climate change story, where we can take this terrible tragedy and the protests around the country and bring this issue into the boardroom of the biggest investors on earth and sort of demand that they pay attention?Daryn Dodson (24:25):Well, I think not only could we, but I think we've gone too far now to turn back from that commitment. One of the things that, of the many good things that happened in the civil rights movement, one thing that didn't happen is that the push for optimal asset allocation that would include brilliant black fund managers and latino fund managers, and women, and people of color across the world never happened. And that's the backbone of the muni bonds, you know, across different strategies. It's the backbone of the ways that we fuel ed tech that is proliferating around the world, it's educating all of the students around the world, it's building the infrastructure in ways that systematically leaves out communities. So without a critical analysis of this time around, and this moment in time, that includes the $70 trillion in assets that are the backbone of the global financial markets, we'll never be able to really have black lives matter or other lives matter across the country. Or in the world. So I think that, you know, one of the laser focuses of a capitalism mission is to execute on our vision, to invest in the funds, reduce bias, and increase returns, and enable our investors to out compete others by applying similar technology. So if you're at a pension fund and this isn't part of your thinking, I think that you've run the risk of being lifted behind and worse risk of leaving the retirements of so many people. And, you know, some would wonder why pensions underperform relative to what many would expect. And I think this is one of those big reasons. And as I've learned from Ashby relative to the climate movement, although there are lots of really important things to hit right on climate we're actually rather than limiting the total set of investing assets by not including the optimal women and people of color run funds, which are the optimal funds that have traditionally been left out of the analysis. And when included in the analysis, these often don't get invested in when we leave them out, we shrink the universe of total potential opportunities. Modern portfolio theory would suggest that is a bad idea. Something is deeply broken in our system. It's something that hurts our returns. It's something that creates systematic bias across many of the asset pools in the world. And, uh, that's not a good thing, whether it's confirmation bias or anchoring bias, as Ashley shared earlier, it's a about looking at the opportunity on the other side of reducing bias, as I mentioned before where we'd be normally distributed, we're underweighted $35 trillion in women and people of color. Let’s put it like that.Ashby Monk (27:17):I love that you brought that up because it is something I'm constantly reminding folks that unlike the climate change space, where we're in effect, asking people to reduce the size of their portfolio in order to minimize the effects of climate change, racial biases already minimizing the portfolio. And what we're asking you to do is open your eyes to the entire portfolio of investable assets, which it's your duty to do. And so this should be a much easier ask actually of the fiduciary bound investors. We're asking you to consider all the investable universe, which is your duty to do. Thank you for reminding me of that. I need to continue to use that in my talks and classes.Sloane Ortel (27:58):Darren, thank you so much for doing the labor to educate us and our listeners. I mean, I'm sure there are many things you'd rather be doing. I can't in good conscience. Let you go though, without asking how the energy and emotion, really the thirst for change that has happened in the last week, can really be harnessed for the long term. In other words, how do we make sure that whatever changes are made really last?Daryn Dodson (28:23):Well, the answer might seem quite simple, but it's a move $35 trillion to women and people of color run funds. I mean to do it with a good intention and don't take 50 years to do it, do it in 10. So if the strategy, if we knew, I mean, imagine one day, if we woke up and we found out we were underweighted clean tech by 50% and like our returns and our job, and those we report to and steward wealth for mattered. How long would it take before we moved to meet a market gap around the things that would produce the highest returns in the world? Not long. And if that's not enough, it's illegal by fiduciary duty to systematically preference investors that would not choose optimal returns for the portfolio. So I think that on the stick side, there are some tools on the carrot side. I think there's a lot of incentives. I think this is a carrot opportunity. And one of the encouraging things in the, you know, depths of the sadness of what so many are taking a moment of pause for around George Floyd's death is that those that I have seen the violence and seeing the little tip of the spear of the financial services backbone that shows up and the financing of cities, it shows up in the financing of, you know, heavy weaponry in communities like the one that I grew up in in DC where the mayor asked the president last night to reduce some of shock and awe tactics used to destroy and create fear in society. So they won't ask for the things and they won't demand things that are better that create a better world. Like we're talking about right now and not just a better world, but also higher returns for the communities in which so many investors are in theory responsible to.Ashby Monk (30:25):Couldn't agree more, Darren. I think, I think my last question for you before we let you go, is our hope here is we can be talking to the pension funds themselves and, you know, through this format to people who are interested in freeing the money inside these organizations, from the constraints and biases that they often exhibit, how would you advise the people running these big pools of capital to be reacting this week, next week in the months to come, what can they do constructively in terms of really anything, what would you would be advising me to be advising my friends that are chief investment officers on how they can be a part of a constructive dialogue or a solution of some sort?Daryn Dodson (31:08):Yeah, I would say, sit down and talk with us. We didn't wake up and start this journey yesterday. This has been a lifelong commitment for the people from our team and our relationships. And we built this boat for tough waters because we, our thesis is that tough waters will always come and will continue to come until this, you know, happens either financially tough waters because volatility is much higher in times like these, and it will never stop until, you know, portfolios are ironically both optimized and include the very people that we see overlooked because they're outperforming on a systematic basis throughout markets. So I'd say don't leave money on the table, do the work to figure out. I mean, if we were talking about the new growth trends and AI moving through the world, what everybody would do is they would begin to learn how to do AI. They'd do the research. They'd talk to the leaders and thought leaders in the field. And I think that includes our incredible team. That also includes Ashby in his great thinking as well as Dr. Eberhardt. And I sort of reach out to the people who have had it for a while and not the people that showed up within the last two weeks and thought it was a great idea to launch a fund. It's just, they have a lot of catching up to do. And in this field, in particular there are a lot of false starts based on the fact that people haven't been studying, researching and understanding. And one of the things that we see in bias in high periods of anxiety, national anxiety is that it skyrockets. So the inability to select top performing managers because of race even spikes higher. So while everybody's launching funds, unless they've really done the work and honed in an analysis, approach, a thesis and understand that nuanced dynamics like any other field of investing, then they subject themselves to greater risk. So I'd say, you know, talk to us. Yeah, we have something to share. And we have a, uh, you know, a mission and a strategy that's been around.Sloane Ortel (33:14):I love that allegory. I mean, I remember every corporate CEO is talking about blockchain, like six months after Bitcoin came out. We all hope that we have an adoption curve which looks like that for racial awareness.Ashby Monk (33:25):Couldn't agree more. I mean, think about all the research projects that got launched on autonomous driving, even among, you know, the asset owner community, we need more research projects to understand how you can get this exposure. Darren, thank you for all the work you're doing at Illumen and in the work that you're doing to educate and engage, and the patience and passion you brought to me to get me involved in the research. It's been incredibly educational and eye opening, and I'm just grateful to be on the journey with you. So thanks again for coming on.Daryn Dodson (33:55):Yeah. Grateful to both you Ashby and Sloane, look forward to it, continuing the journey with both of you and, uh, excited that there's a focus on this now and I think the big challenge is to make sure that that doesn't go away.Sloane Ortel (34:09):Well, I'm sorry. It took us so damn long.Ashby Monk (34:10):Me too.Daryn Dodson (34:12):We'll keep pushing it.Sloane Ortel (34:13):Thanks Darren. Have a great weekend.Sloane Ortel (34:15):That was wild.Ashby Monk (34:16):Yeah. He's one of the most thoughtful people in the space. And so I was really grateful he could come on and spend, you know, 25 minutes with us and you know, he's been doing it! Illumen, they are the tip of the spear of putting diverse managers, people of color managers in business and helping them launch. And you know, he's not going to tell you the secret sauce. He joked about the Google algorithm. Yeah. His performance is really good. And so he's going to have a successful career because he's right. There is a bias which you, as an investor could take advantage of, you know, there's outperformance here, which you can go get. If you're just willing to see it for what it is. It's a racial bias.Sloane Ortel (34:54):Yeah. One subpoint that he made. When he's talking about ed tech and AI and bias, I think like put a pin in this conversation. Like when we think about minority VC, often people think about like black products, but black investors don't need to invest in black products, just like trans investors don't need to invest in trans products or male investors. You know, it's like black people use Slack too.Ashby Monk (35:16):right?Sloane Ortel (35:18):The voice of black investors, you know, women, investors, other folks can really help make those experiences better in meaningful ways and less reinforcing these crazy biases. That so infect our society,Ashby Monk (35:30):I agree. I agree. I wish I was more articulate and more educated. Like at the end when you said, I wish we started earlier., It's just so obvious now that this is like one of these monumental things that we all needed to be paying attention to for so much longer. My wife worked at Teach for America for six years. And I feel like I was being sensitized to all of this over that period. And I just still feel so far behind. And I, you know, I want to sound like I want to be the partner to Darren and Jennifer and the team and do our part. I'm guessing I'm not alone. Sloane. I'm guessing many middle class white academics and professionals like myself are out there trying to say, how do we help?Sloane Ortel (36:08):Yeah. And TBH, I hope. Yeah. If there's anyone in the audience who doesn't think that way, that they've deleted our podcast. Get on the email list at freemoney.substack.com

Social psychologist Dr. Jennifer Eberhardt, a leading expert on unconscious racial bias, and SFPD Chief Bill Scott discuss Dr. Eberhardt’s groundbreaking research on implicit bias and the consequences of the psychological association between race and crime.

“Let little children be the hope you hold in your arms. Let them be the promise that the future will be better because of the values you instill in them.” — Julie Lythcott-Haims   We at Lovevery believe in a world where where all children can fulfill their innate promise. We have much work to do to achieve that dream. Work that starts at home in the form of a conversation. For some it’s a choice, for others, a necessity. Because we all must talk to our kids about race.   It’s a difficult conversation not because of the child in the room, but because of the fears we face as adults. Fear that we will say the wrong thing, fear of what our children will ask us, fear that we won’t have the answer. All of this is normal and to be expected, because nobody has all the answers. And starting the conversation at home is the first step toward addressing that ignorance. Here to help us with that conversation is Julie Lythcott-Haims. She is an author, speaker, and activist based out of Palo Alto, California. Her books are “How To Raise An Adult” and “Real American”. She identifies as a black and biracial woman who has spent a lot of time in white spaces. And she has much to teach us.   Key Takeaways: [2:22] How can parents start the conversation about race and racism? [6:40] How did Julie Lythcott-Haims talk to her own children about racism?

The deaths of George Floyd and Breonna Taylor have raised questions about the future of policing and the role bias plays in police work. Dr. Jennifer Eberhardt joins us to discuss her extensive work with police officers on racial bias. And, a heat wave in parts of California could bring the threat of fire. It's a reminder that this could be a busy summer ahead for fire crews battling wildfires while they also juggle new challenges posed by COVID-19.

This week I had the chance to chat and interview Jennifer…Hahah not myself even though I have some podcast where I ask myself questions and answer them. Lol. In this episode we talked about self help books, donuts, kids and life. A little bit about Jennifer: I was a stay at home mom, happily and by choice, when an unexpected divorce rocked my life. Looking back it was not that much of a surprise after all, but that’s usually how those things go. Almost 40 with three kids, I was close to panic. In searching for my own answers, who am I what am I going to do, I developed my Joy and Growth philosophy. In the sea of self-help and motivation books out there it’s easy to feel overwhelmed when looking for direction. I wrote the book Donuts and Dandelions, finding your Joy and Growth which is now available amazon By focusing on these two simple goals you can truly create the life you have always wanted to live. Now I’m focusing on helping others who may be going through a life transition to find their way and hopefully come out the other side happier people. Of course, there are challenges to starting a business with kids at home, but I think many women out there can relate to trying to find meaning and direction in life while juggling a family. You can find Jennifer : Instagram Facebook Amazon- Donuts and Dandelions book Paint to me app A little bit about me besides whats is seen on social media. I'm a mother of a little girl a wife for the second time and a caregiver to my Navy veteran husband. I want to be woman who sheds the light on women and moms going through different seasons of life and making the normal struggles we all go through normal and not something to be ashamed or embarrassed about.  Aka hot mess momma life.

Not only that, but the people that are in a rut, tend to feel like they're alone. And they're not. Jennifer is the author of "Donuts and Dandelions", a book that takes a simplistic look at finding happiness in your everyday life. You see, Jennifer was a stay at home mom, happy and by choice, when she was rocked by a divorce. In her search for answers into who she was, she developed her joy and growth philosophy. By focusing on two simple goals, you can create the life you want to live. She is focusing on helping others who may be going through a life shift or simply looking for direction.  They discuss what it's like to be in that "rut", the feelings while you're there and the things we can do, as people, to help ourselves out of them. Kevin refers to this as being stuck in a trench, someone throws you a rope, but they don't pull you up... you have to PULL YOURSELF UP. Jennifer agrees, and Sully adds that people tend to fall back on social media, when that's not where they should be looking for guidance.  Through all of this, Jennifer created an iOS app called, "Paint to Me". It's an art/communication app where people communicate soley in colors. Kevin thought that was pretty interesting and said he would check it out, but also wondered how it actually worked. She moves on to explain in the episode.  Find Jennifer's book here - "Donuts and Dandelions" Find Jennifer's app here - Paint to Me Find her Facebook Page here - Donuts and Dandelions Facebook Page Podcast Sponsor - K Bar Soap Co.

Bias is natural — it’s one way we make sense of the world. It becomes problematic when our biases become stereotypes and prejudices. So how do we manage bias, particularly in the classroom and workplace? Jennifer Eberhardt, author of “Biased: Uncovering the Hidden Prejudice That Shapes What We See, Think, and Do,” sits down with Adam Grant, host of the WorkLife podcast to go over the science behind bias. How effective are workplace diversity trainings and how can we get at bias early before it becomes ingrained? John Dickerson, correspondent for “60 Minutes,” moderates the conversation. The views and opinions of the podcast guests are their own and do not necessarily reflect those of the Aspen Institute.

Stanford psychology professor Jennifer Eberhardt has spent years studying how racial bias affects all of us — yes, all — in ways we don't realize. In her new book, “Biased: Uncovering the Hidden Prejudice That Shapes What We See, Think and Do,” Eberhardt explains how bias shapes our perception, our decisions, and our culture.

SPEAKERS Jennifer Eberhardt, Ph.D. Professor of Psychology, Stanford University; Author, Biased: Uncovering the Hidden Prejudice That Shapes What We See, Think, and Do In conversation with Judge LaDoris Cordell (ret.) This program was recorded in front of a live audience at The Cubberley Theatre in Palo Alto on September 26th, 2019.

How biased are you? According to Jennifer Eberhardt, we live in a world where unconscious bias and innate prejudices affect our visual perception, attention, memory and behavior. These stereotypes can dramatically influence and impact our education, employment, housing and our criminal justice system. Eberhardt has worked extensively as a psychologist and consultant with numerous companies and law enforcement agencies. She shares her groundbreaking research, covering courtrooms, boardrooms, classrooms and prisons, to better understand and invoke change at all levels in society. Eberhardt is the co-founder and co-director of SPARQ (Social Psychological Answers to Real-World Questions), a university initiative that uses social psychological research to address significant social problems. She was also the recipient of a 2014 MacArthur Genius Grant. In association with Wonderfest Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Jennifer Eberhardt, professor of psychology at Stanford University, talks with Recode's Kara Swisher about her most recent book, Biased: Uncovering the Hidden Prejudice That Shapes What We See, Think, and Do. She talks about where bias comes from, why the erosion of old social norms has brought our prejudices to the surface, and how technology can encourage bias. Eberhardt shares examples of academic studies and real-world statistics that have revealed racial bias among police officers, and explains how one tech platform — the local social media site Nextdoor — reduced racial profiling among its users by more than 75 percent.

The United States incarcerates more people per capita than any other country in the world. And a vastly disproportionate number of the people we lock up are people of color. A growing bipartisan movement wants reform, but how do we transform our nation's corrections system with an eye toward justice? For this episode of the Crosscut Talks podcast, we've invited two authors with expertise in the fields of criminal justice and racial bias to discuss the many ways our incarceration practices impact some communities more than others, and what it will take to change that system. Jennifer Eberhardt is a professor of psychology at Stanford University and the author of Biased: Uncovering the Hidden Prejudice That Shapes What We See, Think, and Do. Emily Bazelon is a staff writer at The New York Times Magazine and the author of Charged: The New Movement to Transform American Prosecution and End Mass Incarceration. This conversation was recorded on May 4, 2019, at Seattle University as part of the Crosscut Festival.

Unconscious bias can be at work without our realizing it, and even when we genuinely wish to treat all people equally, ingrained stereotypes can affect our visual perception, attention, memory, and behavior. This has an impact on education, employment, housing, and criminal justice. In Biased, with a perspective that is scientific, investigative, and informed by personal experience, Dr. Jennifer Eberhardt offers us insights into the dilemma and a path forward. Come ready to learn and be inspired as Eberhardt presents a hopeful framework for discussion and action by connecting racial bias with the scientific study of the brain. The good news is that we are not hopelessly doomed by our innate prejudices -- Eberhardt reminds us that racial bias is a human problem -- one all people can play a role in solving. 

DeRay, Sam, Brittany and Clint discuss economic myths about undocumented immigrants, conditions in prisons, California's ban against natural hair discrimination, and transparency among police departments. Jennifer Eberhardt joins DeRay to talk about implicit bias and racism.

Stanford Psychology Professor Dr. Jennifer Eberhardt talks about how to address implicit bias in schools, what we can do to help adults overcome bias, and how implicit bias differs from overt racism. Dr. Eberhardt's new book is BIASED: Uncovering the Hidden Prejudice That Shapes What We See, Think, and Do.

For this week's episode of the Intelligence Squared podcast we were joined by Jennifer Eberhardt, Social Psychologist at Stanford University and author of Biased: Uncovering the Hidden Prejudice That Shapes What We See, Think, and Do. In a wide-ranging interview by the BBC's Razia Iqbal, she explored the science behind the hidden prejudices that shape racial inequality around the world.

We know that literature - like all culture - is biased, but can books also be a way of recognising and combating stereotypes? Our guest, Dr Jennifer Eberhardt, is widely considered one of the world’s leading experts on racial bias, and her new book Biased is a comprehensive look at the science of unconscious bias and how it affects our society. With this show, we’re continuing our conversation about race and literature that we started with Reni Eddo-Lodge and Kishani Widyaratna in 2017 (you can find that show in our archive). Specifically, we're looking at racial bias: what it is, how it damages our society, and if there's anything we can do about it. So, join us for the next hour as we try to further decolonise our minds.

Renowned psychology professor Jennifer Eberhardt examines how racial bias affects every sector of society, and how we can work to overcome it. Drawing on scientific studies, investigative insights and personal experience, Jennifer Eberhardt explores the far-reaching and devastating consequences of racial bias. Such bias is not an innate and inevitable evil, she argues, but a universal human problem to be addressed. By acknowledging sometimes uncomfortable truths about how we perceive the world and each other, we can make real progress towards racial justice.

Most of us have biases and prejudices we don’t acknowledge—or aren’t even aware of. Admitting those biases is a baseline of political “wokeness.” But measuring and proving bias, and showing how it works, is another matter. Jennifer Eberhardt is a social psychologist at Stanford University who studies these issues through neuroimaging and other experiments. Bias, in her view, is not merely a learned phenomenon but one that involves neurological patterns that are “tuned” by cultural experience. And it may operate most prominently in situations where people have the least time for reflection. Eberhardt says that intervening on a policy level to reduce the consequences of bias involves slowing down decision-making in critical situations such as policing. She spoke with David Remnick about her new book, “Biased.” Plus, Briana Younger, a music editor at The New Yorker, visits with the bassist and producer who helped make Kendrick Lamar’s album “To Pimp a Butterfly.” He goes by Thundercat.

According to Jennifer Eberhardt, unconscious bias can be at work without our realizing it, and even when we genuinely wish to treat all people equally, ingrained stereotypes can infect our visual perception, attention, memory, and behavior. Guest: Dr. Jennifer Eberhardt is a professor of psychology at Stanford and a recipient of a 2014 MacArthur “genius” grant.  She is co-founder and co-director of SPARQ (Social Psychological Answers to Real-World Questions), a Stanford Center that brings together researchers and practitioners to address significant social problems. Dr. Eberhardt is the author of Biased: Uncovering the Hidden Prejudice That Shapes What We See, Think, and Do. The post Biased: Uncovering the Hidden Prejudice That Shapes What We See, Think, and Do appeared first on KPFA.

Unconscious racial bias can influence what we see, what we do, and what we remember. These are topics that Jennifer Eberhardt, author of the book, Biased: Uncovering the Hidden Prejudice that Shapes What We See, Think, and Do, has been studying for over twenty years. In one of her studies, participants were shown either black or white human faces and then asked to identify a crime-related versus a neutral object. She found that, “black faces facilitated the detection of the crime object, whereas the white faces inhibited their detection of those very same crime objects.” Jennifer’s research led her to work with police departments, prison inmates, and companies. In each case, she couples awareness instruction with actions people can take. For example, she helped one company address online bias in reporting suspicious people in their neighborhood by shifting their response from “if you see something, say something” to “if you see something suspicious, say something specific.” Jennifer is a Professor of Psychology at Stanford University and a recipient of a 2014 MacArthur “genius grant.” She has been elected to the National Academy of Sciences and the American Academy of Arts and Sciences and was named one of Foreign Policy’s 100 Leading Global Thinkers. She is co-founder and co-director of SPARQ, a Stanford "do tank" that brings together researchers and practitioners to address significant social problems.

In the first part of our show we listen to a talk by Jennifer Eberhardt about  the dangers and effect of implicit  racial. bias in policing which is  inherently unintentional yet more pervasive than explicit bias but equally deadly.  Dr. Jennifer Eberhardt, one of the world's leading experts on unconscious racial bias and the author of Biased: Uncovering the Hidden Prejudice That Shapes What We See, Think, and Do will also be speaking at the JCC of SF on April 1st at 7pm. And in the second half of the show we look at sexual and racial bias in the internet  Today, nearly half the world is online. Nearly 75% of this half comprises the people of the global south. Women are 45% of online users. Yet, the digital footprint of women and girls, reflecting real world iniquities, is tiny,  More than 80 percent of the content produced on Wikipedia is written by 20% of people based in the global north. 1 in 10 wikipedia editors is a woman. Recently a small fierce group of feminist geeks at “Whose Knowledge” came along and have been working hard to change these stark statistical realities. Wikipedia entry by wikipedia entry, one digital step at a time. Whose Knowledge is a global campaign to center the knowledge of the marginalized communities to create a truly inclusive internet.  .  Preeti Shakar and Lisa Dettmer talk to co-director of “Whose Knowledge”,  , to discuss the work they are doing to decolonize the web.

The second episode of Reentry Radio comes from the October 2014 session of the Occasional Series on Research in Reentry. The event featured Dr. Jennifer Eberhardt, Stanford University Professor and a recent recipient of the MacArthur Genius Grant for her work on racial profiling and bias. Dr. Eberhardt is followed by John Jay College Associate Professor Maureen Allwood, John Jay Distinguished Lecturer Marty Horn, and Slate writer Jamelle Bouie.

Dr. Allan Johnson visits The Context of White Supremacy. Dr. Johnson is a White man and a former educator at Wesleyan University and Hartford College for Woman. He's written several fiction and non-fiction texts including: Privilege, Power, and Difference and Not From Here. Much of his writing and commentary concerns "White Privilege." Similar to MacArthur Genius grant recipient Jennifer Eberhardt, Dr. Johnson suggests that the problem is that too many "well meaning," "good" Whitefolks are unwittingly racist. Gus hopes to examine this framework for dissecting White Supremacy, as he maintains that White people cannot be ignorant about Racism. Gus thinks a listener may have seen Dr. Johnson in person.
