In-Person and Online: Breaking Bias – A Three-Part Course Series
with Anu Gupta
Thursdays, October 10th, November 7th, and December 5th, 2024 | 6:00pm – 8:00pm ET
In-Person Location: New York Insight at 115 West 29th Street, 12th Floor
Imagine a world where all human beings can belong just as they are and unleash the fullness of their potential. Take a moment to imagine how you feel in such a world – not what you think about it, or whether you believe it’s possible, but how you feel.
In this three-part course, you’ll work with Breaking Bias author Anu Gupta to become more aware of your internalized biases—especially beliefs and perceptions you may hold about yourself and others—and how to transform them.
Taught by a teacher with multiple, intersectional identities, these three classes will help you go beyond merely examining the history of racism, homophobia, and classism to offer actual training in how to notice and reduce these kinds of bias in your daily life.
You’ll explore all of this engagement in a way that’s interactive and (dare we say) fun?!
Breaking Bias is divided into three parts:
October 10th: The Basis of Bias
November 7th: The Making of Bias
December 5th: Our Training in Bias
To make the most out of this course, please purchase a copy of Breaking Bias from a vendor of your choice, and read the sections assigned to each date in advance.
This book club will provide an inspirational and practical way to integrate this work into your practice, community, and life. See you there!

Anu Gupta is an educator, lawyer, scientist, and the founder and CEO of BE MORE with Anu, an education technology benefit corporation that trains professionals across corporate, nonprofit, and government sectors to advance DEIB and wellness by breaking bias.
His work has reached 300+ organizations training more than 80,000 professionals impacting over 30 million lives. As a gay immigrant of color, he came to the work of breaking bias after almost ending his life due to lifelong experiences with racism, homophobia, and Islamophobia. The realization that bias can be unlearned helped lead him out of that dark point and inspired a lifelong mission to build a global movement for social healing based on principles of mindfulness and compassion. A peer-reviewed author, he has written and spoken extensively, including on the TED stage, the Oprah Conversation, Fast Company, Newsweek, and Vogue Business.
