About the Program

As the State Bar has recognized in its new MCLE requirements, incivility is an increasing problem in the legal profession. It is important to acknowledge that all of us at times, either intentionally or more likely unintentionally, contribute to this problem by acting uncivilly based upon our own biases. Moderated by internationally recognized McGill University assistant professor, Dr. Jordan Axt, who focuses his research on the formation of intergroup bias, this program will explore why we form these unintentional biases. It will then untangle the nexus between unintentional biases and incivility, and how we can learn to recognize these biases in order to curb our own incivility.

Professor Jordan Axt

|

Assistant Professor McGill University Department of Psychology

My research explores how people form and express intergroup bias in attitudes and behavior. I investigate how such bias is presented both explicitly, when mental processes are more controlled, and implicitly, when mental processes are more automatic and uncontrolled. I study this question across many social domains, such as race, politics, religion, age, sexual orientation, and physical attractiveness. Through this work, I seek to discover how intergroup bias can be best conceptualized, measured, and reduced. In particular, I examine these issues by using large, diverse samples and applying novel methodologies.
