"An essential tool for individuals, organizations, and communities of all sizes to jump-start dialogue on racism and bias and to transform well-intentioned statements on diversity into concrete actions-from a leading Harvard social psychologist. How can I become part of the solution? In the wake of the social unrest of 2020 and growing calls for racial justice, many business leaders and ordinary citizens are asking that very question. This book provides a compass for all those seeking to begin the work of anti-racism. In The Conversation, Robert Livingston addresses three simple but profound questions: What is racism? Why should everyone be more concerned about it? What can we do to eradicate it? For some, the existence of systemic racism against Black people is hard to accept because it violates the notion that the world is fair and just. But the rigid racial hierarchy created by slavery did not collapse after it was abolished, nor did it end with the civil rights era.^ Drawing on examples from pop culture and his own life experience, Livingston, with clarity and wit, explores the root causes of racism, the factors that explain why some people care about it and others do not, and the most promising paths toward profound and sustainable progress, all while inviting readers to challenge their assumptions. Social change requires social exchange. Founded on principles of psychology, sociology, management, and behavioral economics, The Conversation is a road map for uprooting entrenched biases and sharing candid, fact-based perspectives on race that will lead to increased awareness, empathy, and action"-- Whether it's the composition of a company's leadership team or the composition of one's neighborhood, these racial divides and disparities continue to show up in every facet of society. For Livingston, the difference between a solvable problem and a solved problem is knowledge, investment, and determination. And the goal of making organizations more diverse, equitable, and inclusive is within our capability. Livingston's lifework is showing people how to turn difficult conversations about race into productive instances of real change. For decades he has translated science into practice for numerous organizations, including Airbnb, Deloitte, Microsoft, Under Armour, L'Oreal, and JPMorgan Chase. In The Conversation, Livingston distills this knowledge and experience into an eye-opening immersion in the science of racism and bias.^

The authors explore the hidden biases we all carry from a lifetime of exposure to cultural attitudes about age, gender, race, ethnicity, religion, social class, sexuality, disability status, and nationality. 'Blindspot' is the authors' metaphor for the portion of the mind that houses hidden biases. They question the extent to which our perceptions of social groups - without our awareness or conscious control - shape our likes and dislikes and our judgments about people's character, abilities, and potential. The title's 'good people' are those of us who strive to align our behaviour with our intentions. The aim of this book is to explain the science in plain enough language to help well-intentioned people achieve that alignment. By gaining awareness, we can adapt beliefs and behavior and 'outsmart the machine' in our heads so we can be fairer to those around us. Venturing into this book is an invitation to understand our own minds.

Unconscious bias affects everyone. It can look like the disappointment of an HR professional when a candidate for a new position asks about maternity leave. It can look like preferring the application of an Ivy League graduate over one from a state school. It can look like assuming a man is more entitled to speak in a meeting than his female junior colleague. Meant for every manager who wants to understand and move past their own preconceived ideas, this book explains that bias is the result of mental shortcuts and our likes and dislikes, and is a natural part of the human condition. And what we assume about each other and how we interact with one another has vast effects on our organizational success, especially in the workplace. Teaching you how to overcome unconscious bias, this book provides more than thirty unique tools, such as a prep worksheet and a list of ways to reframe your unconscious thoughts.

In vele landen bestaat er een grote discrepantie tussen de wetten die vrouwen moeten beschermen en de inspanningen die worden geleverd voor de naleving ervan. Seksisme en discriminatie komen nog altijd veel voor en hebben ook een effect op internationale relaties. De auteurs menen zelfs dat veel van de internationale conflicten van de toekomst zullen gaan tussen die landen die wél werken aan gendergelijkheid en zij die dat niet doen. Feit is dat de realiteit waarbinnen vrouwen moeten (over)leven, alsook de geldende normen binnen een patriarchale cultuur, nefast zijn voor een constructieve dialoog tussen landen. Eén van de belangrijke vragen waarop men in dit boek eveneens een antwoord zoekt, is of er een link bestaat tussen de veiligheid van vrouwen en de veiligheid van de Staat. Maar hoe bereikt men een systeem van gendergelijkheid dat duurzaam is en dat ieders veiligheid garandeert? Daartoe bespreken de auteurs zowel de 'top-down' fals de 'bottom-up'-benadering en welke van die twee het meest effectief blijkt op de lange termijn.
