Unit 3 Wrap-Up: Use the Tools Wisely follows the end of chapter 9.

Relevant bias habit-breaking skills segments of Diverse Joy include:

  • Speaking Up from the forthcoming episode “Most Joyful Show on Earth: Inclusion in Circus and Variety Arts” with Mark Hayward

  • Speak Up When Others Express Bias from “Individual and Collective Wellness and Self-care”

    • The question segment of this episode responds to a member of the listening audience asking, “If I’m the target of bias, do I have to be the one to speak up?”

The main discussion topic of season 2’s “Unpacking the Science and Controversy Around ‘Implicit Bias’” cover the notion of “implicit bias,” including why the term “unintentional bias” is better when speaking up.
