Gender Bias Learning Project

A Project of the Center for WorkLife Law, UC Hastings College of the Law


Watching Videos to Learn Strategies for Managing Gender Bias
Conversations about managing gender bias are especially productive after the group has a general knowledge of gender bias and the main gender bias patterns. Ideas for teaching these using the Gender Bias Learning website can be found here.

Watch Videos of Gender Bias Experts Describing Gender Bias Patterns
Note: This version works well for groups of women with professional experience.

Break the group into five small groups. Each group can be assigned to each of the four main patterns of gender bias (Prove it Again!, The Maternal Wall, Double Bind, Gender Wars), and to "General Survival Strategies."
Ask each group to watch the relevant strategy videos Prove it Again!, The Maternal Wall, Double Bind, Gender Wars, and "General Survival Strategies."
After watching the videos, the group can then develop additional strategies for their category of gender bias and develop a presentation to the larger group teaching Strategies to combat gender bias.
Encourage creative presentations including acting out scenarios, developing a social marketing campaign, creating visual aids, etc. Offering poster paper, pens, a projector for computer-based presentations, etc. can be helpful and encouraging.
