An Introduction to Bias

Instructor: David Greenham
Class size 5-24 students
3 seats remaining

Thursday, August 20 • 10-11:00 pm 

In these times of troubling examples of the growing divisions within our country, many people are wondering what they can do to help heal. The Holocaust and Human Rights Center of Maine has been working hard to collect resources and recommendations that individuals can use to contribute to changing attitudes. The most important step is learning about our individual biases and how they contribute to the problem. This 45 minute presentation will share some of the details of the work that the HHRC is doing with teachers and students around Maine, and will also serve as an introduction to the fall class being offered through Senior College. This program will be led by HHRC Associate Director David Greenham.
