White, and other defaults

‘White, and other defaults’ is a safe space to grow. You’ll learn why colonisation is still writ large in our data today.

In this talk I will cover:

  • How we got here: Understanding assumptions - how they affect our data and our world.
  • Why decolonisation matters: The history of colonialism in Manchester and its relevance today.
  • Why assumptions aren’t your fault: Psychological biases that we all inherit and how to get past them.
