Locating Your Bias': Project Implicit and Tim Wise

- Submitting a discussion post
Please take two tests on "Project Implicit" and consider your results. This test, which is a long-term study on subconscious biases and was created by Harvard University, offers an interesting look into the aspects of your mind that are rarely considered. These tests should be taken as a precursor to watching Tim Wise's Lecture.

After taking the tests and watching the lecture, respond to the following in a post:
In the discussion forum I would like for you to reference specific aspects of Wise's lecture (you are welcome to agree or disagree with his arguments, of course). Within your response, please include two key ideas within Wise's lecture: "interrogating the norm" and "having a lens." Also, did taking the Project Implicit tests give you any insight into your lens or views?
Additionally, please respond to at least one of your classmates' posts.
