Full course description

This self-paced course awards 11.5 CEUs
 

In this course, we explore how to engage in racial justice and anti-oppressive practice. We look at how to do this work at the individual level, within organizations, and at the policy level. We review dangerous myths of why the racial wealth gap exists and ways to address it. We look at the impact of current social movements, such as Black Lives Matter. We examine how challenging antisemitism and Islamophobia are essential to this work. We explore questions to ask ourselves to help guide our work. We utilize a variety of learning methods with a focus on theory and action.

By participating in this course, participants will:

  • Define racial justice and anti-oppressive practice (AOP).
  • Explore strategies for implementing racial justice and AOP into their practice.
  • Begin to develop a plan of action for application of racial justice and AOP into their work
