Everyone has unconscious biases – that’s how our brains work! But while fast thinking can make our brains more efficient, it can also be detrimental in a diverse working environment if we make snap judgements about our colleagues.
Bias Busters organizes several events to raise awareness around implicit biases. These events include:
- Workshops: discuss implicit bias, stereotype threat, and how bystander intervention can help interrupt bias
- Reading groups: read literature about biases and their societal implications
- Movie nights: watch socially engaging movies (like “I am not Your Negro”, “Hidden Figures”)
- Reframing Tech Speaker series: speakers offer their perspective on the problems underlying lack of diversity in tech and discuss actions everyone can take to make changes
- Certification: impactful leaders of diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging on campus work with us to become certified as responsible members of the campus community
Bias Busters is based off of BiasBusters @ CMU and Google’s Bias Busting @ Work programs.

Description: The Indian Claims Commission (ICC) was established in 1946 to hear long-standing claims by Native Nations against the United States. As part of this process, information was gathered from across multiple fields, including law, history, and anthropology. The information gathered can be used to support NAGPRA and CalNAGPRA repatriation claims. This program will provide a basic introduction to the ICC, how it applies to California Native Nations, and how to access the materials related to the commission held at UC Berkeley.Or One tap mobile:
