Russell McClain examines the role of implicit bias and stereotype threat - the fear of confirming another's biased views - in creating achievement gaps in higher education. Russell McLain, associate professor and associate dean at the University of Maryland Francis King Carey School of Law, is a nationally recognized expert on the effects of implicit bias and stereotype threat in education. McClain graduated with honors from Carey Law in 1995 and began teaching there in 2006. He directs the academic support program and is the associate dean for diversity and inclusion. He also is a member of the University of Maryland, Baltimore’s Diversity Advisory Council and is president of the Association of Academic Support Educators. McClain’s scholarship explores whether implicit bias and stereotype threat converge to suppress the academic performance of minority groups, especially in higher education. He has made dozens of presentations and conducted numerous workshops for educational institutions, firms, judges, and professional groups. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx

Thank you for clarifying what I’ve been feeling for over 50 years.

I had also heard that teachers or educators who expect more from their children, who are confident they wil be successful, have students perform better in school.

Wow. 5 comments. Under 7,000 views. While people are protesting racial injustice & this is one of the root causes of every single issue we are battling as far as racial inequality goes. No wonder these problems go so unchecked as the majority of us prefer to be complacent.

The majority of people don’t have the growth mindset to even believe they are capable of taking in a video like this, or know where to look for it, or even feel entitled to learn. Your attitude shames people, shame is one of the strongest barriers to learning. I get you mean well, but check your own bias perhaps?

I honestly think Implicit bias and hyper focus on identity is counter productive. The research on implicit bias is messy at best so why would I trust it?

We had a relief teacher at school for my last year at primary school when I was 12. She was doing her masters and proudly told us of her theses about how girls are as good as boys at maths until puberty. I had excelled at maths until then, by the end of the first year of high school, I felt I just couldn’t do maths.

Complacency means we're not challenged nor need to engaged.

Stereotype is a relevant topic for discussion and exploration, as the sentiment can also derive from incomplete information. The cereal box example is creative. Several questions came up in a group discussion, when the image on the box was examined further. What do you see in the characters' eyes? What is the connection between their looks to what they are doing and how they are behaving? Why is the character in question among the undressed, glazed corn pop characters? What do I know about kernels as whole grains? What does corn pop look like pre-processed? What can be learned about corn pop production? What really goes on in the domain of corn pops (cereal box)? What causes people to imprint stereotypes on imagery? Suppose a stereotype is a judgement based on inaccurate assumptions, then I wonder, by what means can one determine the intent as malevolent, or even the real presence of a stereotype in this example.

Eric, thanks. You put it much better than the negative comment I was about to write how stereotype is being addressed to a cereal box.

Although I absolutely agree with his overall message, I think he missed it with the Corn Pops example... The Little Brown Guy was the only character on the back of the box who was NOT going to be eaten. I'll be the Little Brown Guy EVERY DAY of the week and twice on Sunday if that is what is going to happen to the rest of the majority colored, yellow characters. The Little Brown Guy was the SAFE little character.

@@rickytutin that he is talking about some basic stuff such as “I can” and changing your perception on the world. Also his talk was pretty boring. If someone found it useful, I’m am 100% happy for them and wish them to improve their mental health and change their own view on the world. Otherwise it was boring

@@grigorypashkov606 I don't know. It was definitely educational. I was able to push away my biased views and listen for 10 minutes and it was an interesting topic.
