Greater Detroit Nurses and Allied Healthcare Council "The Unconsciousness of Bias: Understanding Anti-Black Female Racism"
November 10, 2021 @ 7:00PM — 9:00PM Eastern Time (US & Canada)
Rev. Dr. Patricia Coleman-Burns will talk about how Implicit or Unconscious Bias, as social cognitions, are unconscious attitudes and stereotypes that can manifest themselves in our daily lives, as we try to find patterns and navigate the overwhelming stimuli in this very complicated world. There are many different categories and examples of implicit biases. This talk will specifically focus on anti-Black racism and the intersection of class, race, misogyny, gender, nativity, and sexuality. The goal is for participants to walk away with strategies for intervening and interrupting as allies, co-conspirators, and collaborators. Participants will explore how this discussion applies to their practice and experiences.
Rev. Dr. Patricia Coleman-Burns is a University of Michigan Assistant Professor Emerita of Nursing and affiliated faculty in the Department of Afro-American and African Studies. An advocate for the right of all persons to be free from all oppressions, racism, and violence, her scholarship focuses on intersecting identities across safe policing, social justice, health equality, social determinants of health, health promotion and disease prevention. Her newest innovation is the development of the EPIC Model of Giving and Receiving Feedback for empowering people to self-advocate in the process on obtaining skills and competencies. Married to Rev. John H. Burns, II, Founding Pastor of First African Methodist (FAME) Church in Farmington Hills, MI from 1977 until his death in 2019, Rev. Dr. Pat continues his vision of bringing the rich Black history of struggle to the community with the Annual Beloved Community Conference and the Farmington Area Juneteenth Celebration.
