Why is it important?
It is important because of the increasing focus on unconscious bias and unconscious bias training as the way forward in combatting institutional racism. The article argues that this focus is flawed as bias is not unconscious but linked to broader social structures of racism and racist institutional cultures.
Perspectives
This is a necessary intervention as a critique of unconscious bias and unconscious bias training.
