FEATURING: As a university-wide, interdisciplinary research institute, the Kirwan Institute for the Study of Race and Ethnicity works to deepen understanding of the causes of—and solutions to—racial and ethnic disparities worldwide, and to bring about a society that is fair and just for all people. Our research is designed to be used to solve probl...

Kellogg Foundation /KirwanInstitute | www.KirwanInstitute.osu.edu WE WOULD LIKE TO EXTEND A SPECIAL ACKNOWLEDGMENT to Cheryl Staats for her exceptional dedication and commitment to the State of the Science: Implicit Bias Review. Cheryl’s leadership and execution from the beginning made this publication possible, and she ...
KELLY CAPATOSTO is a Senior Research Associate working to expand the Kirwan Institute’s race and cognition work. Kelly focuses on applying research on implicit racial bias to inform education policy and practice. Much of her work addresses issues of school discipline, disability, and racialized trauma. Beyond education, Kelly has written several in...
Given that this is the fifth edition of the State of the Science, this document assumes that readers have a general understanding of implicit bias and its operation. For those who would like greater detail on the foundational ideas of this concept, please see our previous publications.
The first several chapters of this edition provide an extensive overview of the concept, its operation, and its measurement.
A small “Mythbusters” feature in the first chapter of this edition exposes the myths associated with implicit bias.
release comes at a very important time. More than ever, Kirwan and our partners in equity work can see the importance of how we shape the narrative of race and equity in this country. For the last five years, the State of the Science has been one of the ways that we have been able to add depth to this often one-sided narrative, by pointing to the c...
Sarah Mamo, a student research assistant at the Kirwan Institute, interviewed Deepinder Singh Mayell, the Director of Education and Outreach at the James H. Binger Center for New Americans on the Center’s recent work on an immigration toolkit specifically geared toward Somali immigrants.
Deepinder Singh Mayell: I am the Director of Education and Outreach at the James H. Binger Center for New Americans, which is a relatively new clinical education program that was recently endowed with a gift from the Robina Foundation. The Center hosts one of the most robust immigration clinical programs in the country; it’s a unique and powerful k...
DSM: This Toolkit applies findings from a growing body of cognitive research on implicit bias to immigration law practice specifically for lawyers who represent Somali immigrants in immigration proceedings. To be successful, immigrants must overcome the implicit biases that players within the system harbor, including judges, police oficers, prosecu...
DSM: Anyone representing Somalis or other refugee groups in the immigration system: immigrants, refugees, and those studying and practicing immigration law. It’s a helpful tool to have on lawyers’ desks when they encoun-ter these issues.
DSM: Regionally, it relates to individuals representing Somalis and populations who have been in the U.S. for a number of years across the country. The global implications of the toolkit are more broad. Internationally, all countries are bound by international law that protects refugees. The toolkit shines a light on the process of integration and ...
DSM: It draws from Fatma Marouf’s “Implicit Bias and Immigration Courts,” Jerry Kang et al.’s “Implicit Bias in the Courtroom,” Nicole E. Negowetti’s “Navigating the Pitfalls of Implicit Bias: A Cognitive Science Primer for Civil Litigators,” the Kirwan Institute’s work, especially that of opportunity mapping, and Susan Bryant’s “The Five Habits: B...
DSM: The toolkit takes implicit bias and cognitive research and applies it more deeply to immigration courts, looking at the actual practice of attorneys as they work with immigrants.
As a typically robust area of implicit bias scholarship, given its range of potentially life-altering consequences, the criminal justice domain remains an area of rich dialogue, ranging from policing to assorted courtroom dynamics.
AS SOMEONE WHO NATURALLY prefers practicality, it is unsurprising that I favor applied research over traditional academic scholarship. I appreciate taking scholarly ideas and seeing them yield positive impacts in “real life” situations. As such, I also enjoy seeing others bridge this divide to bring esoteric academic concepts to bear in fields that...
BY KELLY CAPATOSTO An immense body of research has demonstrated the adverse experiences and outcomes related to criminal justice system involvement for marginalized groups. Expanding this conversation, we highlight how these adverse experiences can be the result of (1) unconscious discrimination; and/or (2) historic policies and related structural ...

Intersecting other social science work, Russell A. McClain analyzed the relationship between implicit bias and stereotype threat on the law school experience. [69] Stereotype threat occurs when “members of a group perform at levels lower than that at which they are capable” as a result of awareness of existing stereotypes against a group identity o...
While education is not always a strong area of implicit bias literature, this year’s contributions to the field spanned a considerable range of topics, with a particular emphasis on bias mitigation.
BY KELLY CAPATOSTO Early interventions have often been heralded as a critical leverage point for ensuring that students’ educational opportunities are maxi-mized. The value of education for youth goes far beyond content knowledge as it fosters artistic, emotional, and relational growth. Nevertheless, a student’s brilliance, creativity, and hard wor...
As one of these potential barriers, this document draws from research on the concept of implicit bias and ofers practical solutions to counter its efects on an organizational and individual level. Pulling examples from the full report, below is a short list of recommendations to mitigate implicit bias in early childhood education:
