Full course description
In this course, examine the multiple forms of backlash to racial justice work, with particular emphasis on the workplace, all situated within larger political and systemic factors. We explore ways to challenge organizational racism and how to prepare and cope with the backlash that is sure to come. We look at where we are going in our future liberatory practice and begin to conceptualize a future that centers Blackness, Indigenous Peoples, abolition, and more. We utilize a variety of learning methods with a focus on theory and action.
