How can mindfulness help defeat racial bias? How can it help ameliorate the harm suffered by each of us as potential targets of discrimination? Professor Magee is a national thought and practice leader in the work of bringing mindfulness to bear on the interpersonal dimensions of social injustice. In this session, she provides a research-grounded overview of the intersections between mindfulness and the reduction of social bias and its harms, demonstrates concrete methods and practices proven to ameliorate aspects of the social suffering caused by bias in our social and professional lives, and facilitates discussion/Q & A.
