Quotes by Jessica Nordell (?)

“The individual who acts with bias engages with an expectation instead of reality. That expectation is assembled from the artifacts of culture: headlines and history books, myths and statistics, encounters real and imagined, and selective interpretations of reality that confirm prior beliefs. Biased individuals do not see a person. They see a person-shaped daydream.”
― Jessica Nordell, The End of Bias: A Beginning: The Science and Practice of Overcoming Unconscious Bias

“Insisting that women are naturally more agreeable is like offering a rat a spoonful of cod liver oil and a spoonful of peanut butter, delivering ering electric shocks every time the rat touches the peanut butter, and then concluding that rats have a natural taste for cod.”
― Jessica Nordell, The End of Bias: A Beginning

“Over time, I came to see bias as a kind of soul violence, an attack not just on the material conditions of one’s life—on one’s choices and possibilities—but an assault on one’s sense of self.”
