She explores what works and why: the diagnostic checklist used by doctors at Johns Hopkins Hospital that eliminated disparate treatment of men and women; the preschool in Sweden where teachers found ingenious ways to uproot gender stereotyping; the police unit in Oregon where the practice of mindfulness and specialized training has coincided with a startling drop in the use of force.
She scrutinizes diversity training, deployed across the land as a corrective but with inconsistent results.
With nuance, compassion, and ten years\' immersion in the topic, Jessica Nordell weaves gripping stories with scientific research to reveal how minds, hearts, and behaviors change.

Unconscious Bias: persistent, unintentional prejudiced behavior that clashes with our consciously held beliefs.
The End of Bias is a transformative, groundbreaking exploration into how we can eradicate unintentional Bias and discrimination, the great challenge of our age.
