In The Hot Seat: Who Am I?
|
Participants explore identity and implicit bias and discuss how personal identity and bias shape their world views.
The very first step in building an anti-racist culture is to understand anti-racism and understand oneself. In this workshop, participants explore personal identity. Focus areas include bias, the psychological and physiological foundations of bias, and how identity affects a person's perspective and approach to the world. Duration: 90 minutes |
Making Change
|
Participants discuss systemic racism and its outcomes and examine how promoting an anti-racist culture requires intentionally adjusting thoughts and resulting behaviors.
Being anti-racist requires an active awareness of thought processes and adjustment of behaviors that perpetuate racism. In this workshop, participants discuss the task of adjusting personal behaviors by appraising toxic assumptions underlying those behaviors. Participants discuss the term, "microaggression," and practice strategies to make meaningful changes to their day-to-day behavior. Duration: 90 minutes |
Are We There Yet? Bridging The Gap
|
Participants analyze concrete scenarios illustrating racism and identify effective ways to confront racism every day to drive change.
Ending racism has been a long sought social objective, but we remain an unequal and unjust society. In this workshop, we challenge participants to be uncomfortable and address specific examples illustrating the pervasive culture of racism in a candid and open forum. Participants survey the history of racism and social change initiatives and are offered tools to empower them to embody and actively promote an anti-racist culture. Duration: 90 minutes |
