Episode 41 - Bias in Today’s World

EPISODE 41 - Bias in Today’s World Carter and Mike tackle bias in today’s world in the most recent Why Not Us Podcast. The discussion begins with opposing views of bias in policing, based on a paper written by the now controversial Harvard economist Roland Fryer. The subsequent reaction to his research, and the research done to counter his claims, have upended typical narratives in our highly partisan world. The guys take it further by discussing how data and research is continually manipulated to lend credence to one side or the other. Lastly, a discussion of the Implicit Association Test (IAT) gives you the listener a tool to test yourself and to learn more about implicit bias.
