An exploration into how we can eradicate unintentional bias and discrimination, the persistent, unintentional prejudiced behavior that clashes with our consciously held beliefs.
What The Reviewers Say
Reassuring lines...might make The End of Bias sound like an anodyne, standard-issue business book, but Nordell, a science journalist with a degree in poetry, is too reflective a thinker to make this just another well-meaning tribute to the importance of diversity training.
Nordell clearly illuminates the psychology behind biases and the stories and lives of those negatively affected by such biases. She shares compelling examples of systemic changes made to eradicate bias from individual experiences and organizations.
A virtuoso survey of scientific research on the causes of prejudice and programs that have 'successfully reduced everyday bias and discrimination'.
Nordell’s examples are revealing but lead to the same general set of conclusions, so there’s a certain sameness to the narrative that becomes more pronounced as it progresses. More useful are some of the recommended remedies.
