Event Description:
Promoting Fairness in Dispute Resolution: Addressing Implicit Bias, Identity Anxiety, and Stereotype Threat
Impartiality and objectivity are understood as the hallmarks of fairness in both traditional judicial proceedings and in the sphere of alternative dispute resolution. Yet insights from the mind sciences make clear that social identities - race, ethnicity, gender, religion age - can result in obstacles to fairness. This presentation will address those obstacles - implicit biases, identity anxieties, and stereotype threats - and share strategies to promote fairness in alternative dispute resolution.
Rachel D. Godsil is a Professor at Rutgers Law School and a Chancellor's Social Justice Scholar. She also is the Director of Research and Co-Founder of Perception Institute, a national
consortium of social scientists, law professors, and advocates focusing
on the role of the mind sciences in law, policy, and institutional
practices. She collaborates with social scientists on empirical research and regularly conducts workshops and on the role of implicit bias, racial anxiety, and stereotype threat in key fields, such as education, criminal justice, and healthcare. Her scholarly research also addresses the intersection of race, property, and the environment.
She regularly provides trainings and lectures to a wide range of private and public institutions seeking to address the role of bias and anxiety associated with race, ethnicity, religion, and gender and provided trainings on implicit bias to state judges across the country on behalf of the National Association of State Judges.
During law school, Professor Godsil served as the Executive Article Editor of the Michigan Law Review, was awarded the Henry M. Bates Memorial Award, and elected to the Order of the Coif. After graduation, she clerked for John M. Walker of the Second Circuit Court of Appeals. Professor Godsil was an Assistant United States Attorney for the Southern District of New York. She was an Associate Counsel at the NAACP Legal Defense and Educational Fund, focusing on environmental justice, as well as an associate with Berle, Kass & Case and Arnold & Porter in New York City. |
