Anti-Racism 101: Practices for White Faculty/Staff in a Multicultural Community
January 17 at 4:30 pm in the Hurvis Room (Warch Campus Center)
An introduction to essential ideas and practices for faculty and staff who identify as white. This session will offer practical suggestions for colleagues to speak and act in more inclusive ways.
- if you’ve heard terms like privilege, implicit bias, or micro-aggressions but aren’t entirely sure what they are, how to recognize them, or what you can do about them…
- if you are uncomfortable talking about race…
- if you have questions about race or privilege that you’re embarrassed to ask about…
- if you feel that you treat everyone equally and don’t understand why that is not enough…
- if you have noticed that you have unconscious biases about race but feel paralyzed about what to do next…
…then this event is for you.
This event is hosted by the Anti-Racist White Affinity Group (ARWAG), a gathering of staff and faculty who identify as white and are engaged in personal and professional development to understand and challenge racism.
