Developing Implicit Bias Awareness in the Communication Classroom: From Project Implicit to Jane Elliott's "Brown Eye Blue Eye"
Williams, Jenilee Crutcher; Wright, Courtney N.
Communication Teacher, v34 n4 p320-326 2020
Communication courses enhance learning through engaging diverse perspectives. However, students' unawareness of diverse perspectives can inhibit communication effectiveness and classroom engagement. Communication teachers encounter challenges and opportunities when these viewpoints impact students' assignment quality, class discussion contributions, and speech development. The present instructional activity uses critical reflection about implicit bias to address these issues. Course(s): Introduction to Public Speaking/Advanced Public Speaking and communication courses in the areas of persuasion, interpersonal, intercultural, interracial, intergroup, conflict, and diversity. Objectives: Through activities and lecture, students will use Project Implicit and Jane Elliott's Brown Eye Blue Eye video to examine implications of implicit bias, perception, and dual perspective for the persuasive speech as well as other communication assignments.
