About this episode

The episode discusses implicit bias with guests Katharina Berndt Rasmussen and Katherine Puddifoot.

In the twenty-first episode of Filosofisk podcast (the fourth one in English), we are joined by Katharina Berndt Rasmussen and Katherine (Kathy) Puddifoot to discuss implicit bias. What is an implicit bias? Are implicit biases under our rational control, or are we unable to influence the biases that we have? Should implicit bias be understood mainly as a problem concerning individuals and their psychological attitudes, or is it better understood as a structural problem? The guests’ philosophical recommendations: “How Stereotypes Deceive Us” (2021), book by Katherine Puddifoot; “An Introduction to Implicit Bias: Knowledge, Justice, and the Social Mind” (2020), anthology edited by Erin Beeghly and Alex Madva; and “Understanding Bias” (2024), special issue of the journal Philosophical Psychology, guest edited by Katherine Puddifoot.
