Partisan bias is widely discussed in news media and about news media organizations. However, in addition to partisan bias, news organizations and journalists perpetuate structural biases that perpetuate violent, stereotypical ideas and hopelessness about our world and our role in it. This webinar examines help news consumers evaluate sources, identify structural biases and what to do about them, and more effectively present their own ideas for change. Participants can choose to join a small group to examine a news article to discuss its structural biases, followed by a full group discussion of the article and Q&A.
News media examples about immigration, LGBTQIA+ rights, and Palestine solidarity will be examined.
Dr. Amy E. Harth (they/them) is a white, queer, non-binary, fat, disabled anti-oppression researcher with over 15 years of experience specializing in diversity, equity, and inclusion. As principal of Amy Harth Coaching and Consulting, they use the latest research on people-focused strategy to help leaders achieve their goals.
Understanding that strategy can be challenging and innovation intimidating, Amy advocates for restructuring work to be more effective and efficient, integrating equity into every strategy to transform the workplace.
Their approach is built on three fundamental elements:
1. Dismantling oppressive structure
2. Creating new possibilities through anti-oppressive frameworks
3. Co-creating with multiply-marginalized people at the center.
Amy believes that by focusing on these areas, we can help our communities and society flourish. Their expertise effectively combines strategic thinking with a deep understanding of the importance of the intersections of our identities, including race, gender, class, disability status, body size, religion, citizenship, language, and more.
For Amy, equity is not just a component of leadership—it is leadership. They are committed to ensuring that equity is at the core of your strategy, helping your innovation reach new heights.
