racial bias.
Please carefully read these three articles.
The first is primary research in how bias creeps in:

The second is an analysis of the research and looks at implications for police work:

The third looks at how black girls are perceived to be older than they are:

I chose to use the private journal venue for your analysis of your own biases in this very sensitive topic of racial bias.
Using 250-300 words, answer these questions:
- What was of particular interest to you in the readings?
- How does the analysis of the articles deepen your understanding of the issues?
- What are some concrete ways you can watch for bias in your work/planned career? With your colleagues? What guidelines from our text might help?
