Leading psychologists Mahzarin R. Banaji and Anthony G. Greenwald discuss how biases can manifest subconsciously and what we can do to counteract them.

While many of us would like to think that we are free from biases toward others, research indicates this is far from the case.

It's entirely too common for people to oppose discrimination intellectually, but still do it unconsciously.

Mahzarin R. Banaji and Anthony G. Greenwald are social psychologists who have investigated race, gender, and sexual orientation biases.

The researchers pioneered the Implicit Association Test, or IAT, which has allowed them to identify people's hidden biases and blindspots.

In their book Blindspot, Banaji and Greenwald share their learnings on how blindspots work and the negative effects they have on society.

The authors encourage the reader to examine their own biases and share solutions for addressing blindspots.
