What's the Angle? Spotting Bias in Sources and Ourselves In-Person / Online
All humans are biased, and we all rely on mental shortcuts to navigate and understand the world. As students and citizens, however, it’s important to recognize and grapple with both our own biases and the biases present in the information we encounter.
In this interactive workshop, you’ll learn how to identify common types of bias in news, websites, and other sources. Through discussion and interactive activities, we’ll practice spotting loaded language, noting missing perspectives, and asking critical questions about who created a source and why.
You’ll leave with tools that can help you evaluate information more thoughtfully—skills that are valuable for research assignments, class discussions, and everyday life.
