Harvard's Project Implicit - Implicit Association Test
Project Implicit is a non-profit organization and international collaboration between researchers who are interested in implicit social cognition - thoughts and feelings outside of conscious awareness and control. The goal of the organization is to educate the public about hidden biases and to provide a “virtual laboratory” for collecting data on the Internet. Project Implicit was founded in 1998 by three scientists – Tony Greenwald (University of Washington), Mahzarin Banaji (Harvard University), and Brian Nosek (University of Virginia). You can tak the Implicit Association Test (IAT) from a list of possible topics .

EQUITY
What is Equity
Equity is the fair treatment, access, opportunity, and advancement for all, while at the same time striving to identify and eliminate barriers that have prevented the full participation of some groups. Equality is about ensuring that everyone has the exact same resources, while equity requires distributing resources based on the different needs of the recipients.

This site offers tools, research, tips, curricula and ideas for people who want to increase their own understanding and to help those working toward justice at every level - in systems, organizations, communities and culture at large.
Miles to Go before We Sleep: Racial Inequities in Health
by David R. Williams. Journal of Health and Social Behavior 53(3) 279-295
Syllabus: 21- Day Racial Equity Habit-Building Challenge
The Challenge invites participants to complete a syllabus of 21 short assignments (typically taking 15-30 minutes), over 21 consecutive days, that include readings, videos or podcasts. It has been intentionally crafted to focus on the Black American experience. The assignments seek to expose participants to perspectives on elements of Black history, identity and culture, and to the Black community’s experience of racism in America. Even this focus on Black Americans cannot possibly highlight all of the diversity of experiences and opinions within the Black community itself, much less substitute for learnings about any other community of color. This syllabus is but an introduction to what we hope will be a rewarding journey that extends far beyond the limits of this project.
Center for the Study of Racism, Social Justice & Health
This is a multidisciplinary, collaborative research center housed in the Department of Community Health Sciences in the Fielding School of Public Health at the University of California at Los Angeles (UCLA). This new center launched in October 2017 on what previously had been celebrated as Columbus Day.
The Center is distinguished from other disparities-related research units at UCLA by its primary focus on the health implications of racism for diverse populations. Public Health is both an academic discipline and an applied one. Therefore, the Center encourages the translation of research findings for use by public health professionals, community organizations and policymakers in their ongoing health equity efforts. You will find resources for each audience throughout this site.

Tool: Recognizing Microaggressions and the Messages They Send
Microaggressions are the everyday verbal, nonverbal, and environmental slights, snubs, or insults, whether intentional or unintentional, that communicate hostile, derogatory, or negative messages to target persons based solely upon their marginalized group membership (from Diversity in the Classroom, UCLA Diversity & Faculty Development, 2014). The first step in addressing microaggressions is to recognize when a microaggression has occurred and what message it may be sending. The context of the relationship and situation is critical. Here are common themes to which microaggressions attach.
Tool: Interrupting Microaggressions
This tool provides examples of Alleyship interventions and various communication approaches to use when microaggression occurs.

TRAUMA INFORMED CARE
Going beyond asking what happened: buidling beloved community by Kanwarpal Dhaliwal, ACEs Connection 2/7
One of the most notable descriptors of trauma-informed care is shifting the question of what is wrong with you to what happened to you. While certainly less harmful than asking what is wrong, for RYSE Youth Center, asking what happened still falls short of affirming and recognizing young people of color’s fortitude and agency. Asking what happened continues to render the problem in/on the individual, overemphasizing behavioral change while foregoing the ever-needed scrutiny and emphasis on systems change.
