We didn’t record the Brown Bag on November 6 as we were up in the galleries for most of the session, practicing inquiry using Artful Thinking Routines and VTS. The routines we practiced and an object suggestion list are posted here.

If you have time, check out Project Implicit. “Project Implicit is a non-profit organization and international collaboration between researchers who are interested in implicit social cognition – thoughts and feelings outside of conscious awareness and control. The goal of the organization is to educate the public about hidden biases and to provide a “virtual laboratory” for collecting data on the Internet.” Harvard University hosts the site, and you can take some of the tests, if you have time:
