Implicit Bias Expand

Implicit bias refers to the attitudes or stereotypes that affect our understanding, actions, and decisions in an unconscious manner. These biases, which encompass both favorable and unfavorable assessments, are activated involuntarily and without an individual’s awareness or intentional control. Residing deep in the subconscious, these biases are different from known biases that individuals may choose to conceal for the purposes of social and/or political correctness. Rather, implicit biases are not accessible through introspection.

LGBTQ Expand

A guide to lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer/questioning (one's sexual or gender identity), intersex, and asexual/aromantic/agender (LGBTQIA) resources at EWU Libraries.

Microaggressions Expand

Microaggressions are derogatory slights or insults directed at a target group or persons who are members of an oppressed group. Microaggressions communicate bias and can be delivered implicitly or explicitly. Three types of microaggressions have been identified in the literature and supported by empirical work: microassualt, microinsult, and microinvalidation.

Microassault refers to the blatant verbal, nonverbal, or environmental attack intended to convey discriminatory and biased sentiments. 

Microinsults are the unintentional behaviors or verbal comments that convey rudeness or insensitivity or demean a person's racial heritage/identity, gender identity, religion, ability, or sexual orientation identity. 

Microinvalidations are verbal comments or behaviors that exclude, negate, or dismiss the psychological thoughts, feelings, or experiential reality of the targeted group.

Social Justice Expand

Social justice is a type of justice rooted in the idea that all people should have equal rights, opportunity and treatment.

Systematic Racism Expand

Institutional racism, also known as systemic racism, is a form of racism that is embedded in the laws and regulations of a society or an organization. It manifests as discrimination in areas such as criminal justice, employment, housing, health care, education, and political representation.
