Long Description:
Implicit bias affects our understanding, actions, and decisions without conscious awareness. Everyone exhibits it to a greater or lesser extent, and it is an inherent part of being human.
Recognizing that, what can you do to make your adventures and worlds more inclusive and inviting?
The first steps are to learn – what is your perspective, who are you excluding, and what is their viewpoint (and their own biases). While this takes a lifetime of practice, you can start in an hour, learning about implicit biases and ways to overcome them, exploring how the design of space can be inviting or disinviting, and coming away with some tools to further explore after the con.
