Harro's Cycle of Socialization
Bobbie Harro
We are each born into a specific set of social identities, related to the categories of difference mentioned above, and these social identities predispose us to unequal roles in the dynamic system of oppression. We are then socialized by powerful sources in our worlds to play the roles
prescribed by an inequitable social system (Hardiman and Jackson 1997). This socialization process is pervasive (coming from all sides and sources), consistent (patterned and predictable), circular (self supporting), self-perpetuating (intradependent) and often visible (unconscious and unnamed) (Bell 1997).

Blindspot: Hidden Biases of Good People
by Mahzarin R. Banaji & Anthony G. Greenwald
"“Blindspot” is the authors’ metaphor for the portion of the mind that houses hidden biases. Writing with simplicity and verve, Banaji and Greenwald question the extent to which our perceptions of social groups—without our awareness or conscious control—shape our likes and dislikes and our judgments about people’s character, abilities, and potential."
Biased: Uncovering the Hidden Prejudice That Shapes What We See, Think, and Do
by Jennifer L. Eberhardt PhD
How do we talk about bias? How do we address racial disparities and inequities? What role do our institutions play in creating, maintaining, and magnifying those inequities? What role do we play? With a perspective that is at once scientific, investigative, and informed by personal experience, Dr. Jennifer Eberhardt offers us the language and courage we need to face one of the biggest and most troubling issues of our time.
