I’m going to divide you into
two groups. Each group will
look closely at one of these
images and critique what is
being shown. Think about what
roles these images assign to
men and women, and what
message they might be
sending to the audience.

9. INVISIBILITY
SEVEN FORMS OF BIAS
The most fundamental and oldest form of
bias in instructional materials is the
complete or relative exclusion of a group.
With an attempt for inclusion after 1960,
many of today’s textbooks are improved,
but far from perfect. Women, those with
those disabilities, gays, and homosexuals
continue to be missing from many of
today’s text.

STEREOTYPE

11. STEREOTYPE
SEVEN FORMS OF BIAS
Perhaps the most familiar form of bias is the
stereotype, which assigns a rigid set of
characteristics to all members of a group, at
the cost of individual attributes and
differences. While stereotypes can be positive,
they are more often negative. Some typical
stereotypes include: Men portrayed as
assertive and successful in their jobs, but rarely
discussed as husbands or fathers; and women
as caregivers.

SEVEN FORMS OF BIAS
Curriculum may perpetuate bias
by presenting only one
interpretation of an issue,
situation, or group of people. Such
accounts simplify and distort
complex issues by omitting
different perspectives.

SEVEN FORMS OF BIAS
Many researchers have noted the
tendency of instructional materials
to gloss over unpleasant facts and
events in our history. Another
example is the notion that
technology will solve persistent
social problems.

16. SEVEN FORMS OF BIAS
FRAGMENTATION
BIAS

17. FRAGMENTATION
SEVEN FORMS OF BIAS
Fragmentation emerges when a group is
physically or visually isolated in the text. Often,
racial and ethnic group members are depicted
as interacting only with persons like
themselves, isolated from other cultural
communities. While this form of bias may be
less damaging than omission or stereotypes,
fragmentation and isolation present non-
dominant groups as peripheral members of
society.

18. SEVEN FORMS OF BIAS
LINGUISTIC
BIAS

19. LINGUISTIC BIAS
SEVEN FORMS OF BIAS
Language can be a powerful conveyor of
bias, in both blatant and subtle forms.
Linguistic bias can impact race/ethnicity,
gender, accents, age, (dis)ability and
sexual orientation. Such words as
forefathers, mankind, and businessman
serve to deny the contributions (even the
existence) of females.

20. SEVEN FORMS OF BIAS
COSMETIC
BIAS

21. COSMETIC BIAS
SEVEN FORMS OF BIAS
The relatively new cosmetic bias
suggests that a text is bias free, but
beyond the attractive covers, photos, or
posters, bias persists. An example is a
science textbooks that features a glossy
pullout of female scientists but includes
precious little narrative on the scientific
contributions of women.

22. ADVOCACY PLEDGE

BIAS
CHALLENGE
PLEDGE!

23. BIAS CHALLENGE PLEDGE!
Write a personal pledge that outlines how
you will recognize and challenge bias
when you encounter it in media or in daily
life. The pledge should reflect how you plan
to become more aware of biases in the
media, call out unfair representations, and
advocate for inclusivity in the world around
you.
Think about how bias affects you and
others in your daily life. Consider how
media, advertisements, news, movies,
and even casual conversations can
shape perceptions unfairly.
