Episode 35 - Dr. Bentley Gibson - "Work With to Win With"

Published on: March 27, 2024

Next pod episode: Dr. Bentley Gibson!

We were so excited to talk with Dr. Bentley Gibson! Dr. Gibson (she/her) received a BA in Psychology from Spelman College, and completed her Master's and Doctorate in Cognition and Development Psychology at Emory University, focusing on the development of racial and gender biases from early childhood to adulthood.  Dr. Gibson is currently Assistant Professor of Psychology at Georgia Highlands College. Her research focuses on ​implicit biases, which regular listeners of the show probably know are associations that people may be unaware they possess, yet still impact their behaviors.  She’s also the founder of “The Bias Adjuster,” which helps people identify and challenge their biases.

We loved talking with Bentley about bias, its roots, and how people react when they are confronted with their bias, and how we can make sure that our biases don’t own us. Lots of laughter awaits you!
