We invite you to a CARL-Santa Clara University (SCU) Library Conference Social on Thursday, April 4 at the SCU campus!

The main attraction for the evening is the Smithsonian’s The Bias Inside Us exhibit, which SCU Library is hosting from March 23-April 21. This 1,000 square foot, interactive traveling exhibition and community-engagement project is aimed at raising awareness about and discussion around the social science and psychology of implicit bias.

Featuring compelling images, hands-on interactives, and powerful testimonials and videos, The Bias Inside Us unpacks and demystifies the concept of bias. One interactive experience invites us to think about how bias is reflected in product design, advertising, architecture, and technology. The exhibition also features Spanish photographer Angélica Dass’ Humanae project, which reflects on the color of skin that challenges the concept of race. In this work, Dass documents humanity’s true colors through portraits, rather than the labels “white,” “red,” “black” and “yellow.”

The evening will also feature food, drink, conversation, and explorations of the Library (including demonstrations of our Automated Retrieval System).
