My work is driven by the belief that human bias in some form is inevitable, and that it is therefore essential to design to mitigate it.

Often, bias is presented as a one-dimensional barrier between those who hold societal privilege and power and those who do not. In order to address the full shaping force that bias is in our personal, professional, and political lives, we need to learn to recognize it in ourselves, others, institutions, and culture. Over the past decade, I have led the design of a number of initiatives aimed at participatory bias education and turning psychological and neuroscientific insights into actionable strategies for social change.

A true democracy or democratic republic requires informed, engaged, and inspired communities. We need to remove the systemic, psychological, cultural, and practical barriers that the public faces in co-building more sustainable and equitable futures.
