An older article but still quite pertinent.

"if you’re part of an urbanist organization, you probably ought to make an active effort to reach out and recruit people from various neighborhoods and communities. And you ought to do it not by convincing them of things they don’t already believe, but by appealing to things they consider in their own self-interest."

Daniel Kay Hertz · Why is urbanism so white?The answer has to start, of course, with an acknowledgment that there are multiple things one might call “urbanism,” and that not all of them are notably white. Within recent memory her…

Dr Philip Polkinghorne is the latest in a long line of convicted criminals who fit the image of 'respectable citizen', not the reactionary caricature of what "criminals" look like (poor, underemployed, brown, etc);

Yet these inaccurate "law and order" stereotypes persist. Why? Implicit bias. The same bias allows governments to cancel programs based on researched evidence for the causes of crime, in favour of 3 Strikes approaches.

Maybe I can help clarify things.

Heterosexuals should not be referred to as “straight” unless you intend to infer that LGBT are “crooked” although it does seem that many heterosexuals are in fact not happy.

Using the term “straight” reveals your implicit bias. Be curious enough to learn about and recognize those.

#Onboarding's been net positive, but a required 3rd party educational #video reminded me why we wrote that, "Scholars in the field cringe whenever we experience another mandated training suggesting that #implicitBias is entirely #unconscious, a stable trait in each of us that we can measure with a test..., or the primary cause of #prejudice in the #workplace."

Surprised this conclusion survived #peerReview: a "program succeeded in promoting positive attitudes and beliefs" about "#implicitBias #education ...among ...police" (N = 145).

The 1st survey was online, but the 2nd was in-person. And the 1st survey's questions weren't about the same trainings as the 2nd survey's.

So any differences in answers are as explainable by differences between the surveys as they are by one #education program.

How's the Language of Thought hypothesis doing? 

Alex Madva reports, “the downfall of [alternative] models has not occasioned the uncontested reign of propositional alternatives. Leading propositional theorists continue to uncover effects more naturally explained by nonpropositional processes, or at least uneasily assimilated into prevailing propositional theories...". doi.org/10.1017/S0140525X23001

TITLE: Blog post on racism and risk assessment

-------- Forwarded Message --------

Hi folks:

It’s probably of interest only to a few on this list, but since I was
posting it elsewhere...

This week's /Sexual Abuse/ blog is on racism and risk assessment.
Obviously, no single blog post can cover everything on this topic, but I
did what I could.

Jesus. My 'liberal' NIMBY-esque neighborhood of Rockridge is starting civilian 'safety' patrols. WTF.

From the Q&A in the local newsletter:

"What will the driver do if they see an incident in progress? - Our drivers' primary duty is to observe, support, report, and when necessary serve as expert witness. When they see unusual activity, rather than make assumptions, they approach the scene in a friendly manner and ask if someone requires assistance before determining the next best response."

I wonder how much time their civilian drivers have spent interrogating their 'assumptions.'

#ImplicitBias isn’t “unconscious”?

“…participants in all 17 studies were able to accurately predict the patterns of their IAT results (…b = .44) …across samples, settings [online vs. in-person lab studies], countries …, and languages…. [These] results strengthen the hypothesis that cognitions reflected on implicit evaluations are accessible to conscious awareness.”
