The End of Bias is a transformative, groundbreaking exploration into how we can eradicate unintentional bias and discrimination, the great challenge of our age.
Discussions of unconscious bias typically focus on the problem, not on solutions. But how do we eradicate the unintentional prejudices that clash with our values and wreak havoc across medicine, the workplace, education, policing, and beyond?
To find out, award-winning journalist and writer Jessica Nordell undertook a global search for solutions. The culmination of fifteen years’ immersion in the subject, The End of Bias: A Beginning explores how bias ends: the police unit in California where new incentives improved police behavior and decreased both arrests and violent crime, the checklist used by doctors that erased gender disparities in treatment, the media intervention that reduced religious intolerance in France. Weaving gripping stories with scientific research and exquisite writing, Nordell paints riveting portraits of those leading change and interrogates her own biases with candor and insight.

《隱性偏見》對我們如何消除不經心的偏見和歧視是一次變革性、開創性的探索,這是我們所處的時代的巨大挑戰。
關於無意識的偏見的討論通常聚焦在問題,而非解決方案上。但是,這些無意的偏見在醫學、職場、教育、警務等方面造成了嚴重破壞,我們該如何消除與我們的價值觀相左的偏見?
為了找出答案,獲獎記者兼作家潔西卡•諾黛兒在全球尋求解方。《隱性偏見》即是她十五年專注這個主題的巔峰之作,本書探討了我們將如何終結偏見:在加州的警察部門,新的激勵措施改善了警方的執法並減少了逮捕和暴力犯罪,醫生所使用的清單消除了在治療上的性別差異,媒體的介入改善了法國對於宗教的寬容。諾黛兒以她優美的文筆結合了引人入勝的故事與科學研究,描繪出那些引領變革的精彩圖像,她並以坦率和深刻的見解審視了自己的偏見。
