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
Due to unforeseen circumstances this course has been postponed and will be rescheduled for 2025. Stay tuned for more details.
In this special 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!
