BBC Radio 4 - Analysis, Implicit Bias

David Edmonds asks if we are unconsciously harbouring racist and sexist attitudes.

Are we more racist, sexist and homophobic than we realize? David Edmonds investigates what is called implicit bias.

Do we unconsciously harbour racist and sexist attitudes? Far fewer people are explicitly racist than a couple of decades ago. They won't express or admit to racist sentiments. But what happens beneath the conscious level? In recent years there has been an explosion in research into what's called implicit bias. David Edmonds discovers that big business is taking the idea very seriously. He asks: does it stand up to scrutiny?
Producer: Ben Carter.

Intelligent speech, the most insightful journalism, the wittiest comedy, the most fascinating features and the most compelling drama and readings anywhere in UK radio.
