In this course, we look at racism as a system and our positions within that system, with an emphasis on social, economic, and political power. We explore racial identity development and characteristics of dialogue about race and racism. We utilize a variety of learning methods with a focus on theory and action.

By participating in this course, participants will:

  • Identify their social identity and positionality and the implications on their practice.
  • Explore concepts, theories, and definitions about what race and racism are.
  • Better understand how racism operates systemically and the implications of this in the personal/professional settings they occupy.
