Document Summary
In the first of three readings for this week, on the epistemic costs of implicit bias by tamar szab gendler, discusses the implications of race in automatic associations. Gendler identifies the tendency of race to give rise to these associations as. Hazardous as the associations tend to have an effect on an individual"s ability to perceive individuating information. Gendler makes this judgment even about those who claim to have disavowed the normative content of the racial associations. Gendler lays out various scenarios regarding race and differentiation of people that support her point. Perhaps it is due to a renewed social consciousness or interest in conversations of this nature, but gendler"s overall argument and conclusion seems rather intuitive. She presents a sort of catch 22 the two choices in how we go about perceiving race are quite dismal.
