Seeing and Disrupting Racism
\nSept 13th 12pm to 1:30pm
\nTime Allotted: 1.5 Hours
\nPeopleSoft Course Number: DEI037
\nDescription: This lecture\/presentation was developed for predominantly white audiences. We start by defining racism. Then we walk participants through the concept of white fragility. We go over how white fragility perpetuates racism and specific ways to disrupt that cycle. If you are interested in attending either of our other workshop series – Building Empathy and Addressing Racism or Privilege & Accountability for Aspiring Allies, it is recommended to attend this workshop first.<\/p>\n

Building Empathy and Addressing Racism
\nMondays 1pm to 3pm,
\nSept 17th , Sept 24th, Oct 8th
\nTime Allotted: Three 2-hour sessions
\nPeopleSoft Course Number: DEI038
\nDescription: This program gives participants the opportunity to build skills and knowledge to engage in undoing racism. The sessions focus on racism within self, community, and taking action. White Fragility and White Supremacy Culture are always included, details of each workshop vary based on facilitators, partners, and participants. Please know that these programs are designed in large part to engage and encourage white people to do racial justice work. To this end, while many of our workshops have multi-racial attendance, they do center whiteness in a way that can be frustrating, harmful, and\/or just not that meaningful to people of color. This is not always the case. We trust that each individual knows best what will be most useful to them. Another option is to stay on the workshop e-mail list to see what resources we are sharing but not come to the sessions. We are happy to do this if you would like. Let us know if you want more information on the content or anything else that will help you make a good choice for yourself. WHEN YOU REGISTER FOR THIS CLASS YOU ARE COMMITTING TO ATTEND ALL THREE SESSIONS as each is a foundation of learning for each successive session. Please note: PEOPLESOFT REGISTRATION WILL ONLY LIST THE FIRST DATE OF ATTENDANCE HOWEVER YOU WILL AUTOMATICALLY BE ENROLLED IN ALL THREE SESSIONS.<\/p>\n
