“Knowing that one may be subject to bias is one thing; being
able to correct it is another.” Jon Elster. Explaining Social Behavior: More Nuts and Bolts for the
Social Sciences, p. 7, 2007.
In this session, participants evaluated art with different criteria and were challenged to think
clearly about a response they might have had toward something. Participants were asked to

Take home messages included being mindful of expressing opinions effectively, valuing our
own as well as others’ responses and respecting differences of opinion.
