This may seem unrelated to the analytical logic of economics, but in this workshop, Dr. Jennifer Imazeki, AVP for Faculty and Staff Diversity and Senate Distinguished Professor of Economics, will discuss how cost-benefit analysis, a fundamental building block of economics, can help us build empathy. Participants will have an opportunity to step back and consider the assumptions we may be making, often unconsciously, about others, and how those assumptions might manifest in our interactions, policies and practices. We will then discuss how cost-benefit can be used to disrupt that bias, to get in between our immediate internal responses and our external behaviors and provide an alternative to the automatic reactions we may otherwise have when our biases take over.-------- FACILITATED BY: -----------------------------------------------------Jennifer Imazeki------------------------------------------------------------------------------ *CSUN Faculty & Staff – To register for this Workshop/Session:*1) When ready, select the CSU Learn button below. 2) Log into CSU Learn with your CSUN Portal credentials. 3) Select the “Register” button. 4) Click on the bullet next to the CSUN HR icon, and select “Submit” to enroll in this session.*CSU Learn [1]** *If a reasonable accommodation is needed, please contact L&D@ calstate.edu in advance (minimum of 72 hours is requested) and we will connect you with the workshop facilitator..*Withdraw from Session:* If you need to cancel your registration, select the “Self” icon in CSU Learn.  Select “Learning,” then “Registrations.”  Select the box next to the session you need to cancel, and select “Cancel Registration.”  In the next window, select “Confirm Cancellation.”Return to CSUN's Professional & Personal Development Training Calendar at: http://www.csun.edu/development/training [2].To view a complete accessible listing of Fall 2024 programming, select the image below [3].[1] https://CSU.sumtotal.host/core/pillarRedirect?relyingParty=LM&url=app%2Fmanagement%2FLMS_ActDetails.aspx%3FActivityId%3D135627%26UserMode%3D0 [2] http://www.csun.edu/development/training [3] https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__csyou.calstate.edu_Divisions-2DOrgs_HR_spd_Live-2DLearning-2DPrograms_Pages_cross-2Dcampus-2Dcollaboration.aspx&d=DwMFAg&c=Oo8bPJf7k7r_cPTz1JF7vEiFxvFRfQtp-j14fFwh71U&r=Yu7N4UTVlNm74wS-ej1GbyZ5IsnCKdObewnTwHPuC8s&m=oGQdT0BwxoeQFhiI-x3iqDUhrdq6HINBHNSt0qUsSX_A77H91UlrWtq9zd8KcXxm&s=IHL7hmL1KScHDKRlmt9ITc4wVDVEXkkHG0ddMR2p9f8&e=
