Bias Vocabulary

The Bias Vocabulary, created by the Combatting Bias project in collaboration with a network of partners and advisors, addresses the question, 'what is bias?'. It outlines 23 seperate yet related concerns connected to bias - which can have harmful consequences if not considered. The Vocabulary establishes a common language for discussing bias across disciplines, transforming abstract concerns into specific, identifiable manifestations that researchers can systematically address. This is not a definitive or comprehensive list of concerns. We are aware concerns will evolve - but we hope this list can promote awareness around bias and encourage dialogue.
