The Bias Inside Us
The Smithsonian Institution's Travelling Exhibition proudly brought The Bias Inside Us exhibit, which raised awareness about the science and history of bias and what we can do about it, to Atlantic Cape Community College's Mays Landing campus. This exhibit explored the science behind implicit bias, how biases form, how they influence our perceptions and decisions, and how greater awareness can help us build more inclusive and equitable environments. Bringing this exhibit to our campus supported our educational mission and offered a meaningful opportunity for learning, reflection, and dialogue among students, faculty, staff, and the broader community.
The Bias Inside Us exhibit was for teachers, students, communities and individuals to learn more about implicit bias. It explored the social science, psychology and consequences of implicit bias. The project was grounded in research and taught everyone that bias is inside everyone. It is part of being human. Being aware of our bias can help us recognize their influence and impact on our behaviors and worldview. This exhibit offered everyone an opportunity to learn how to challenge bias in the world through awareness of one’s own bias.
