The Anti-Racist White Affinity Group welcomes new members! ARWAG is a gathering of Lawrence staff and faculty seeking to understand and challenge racism. Recognizing that anti-racist work is disproportionately borne by people of color, ARWAG is a setting for white people to take responsibility for educating themselves about racism and for challenging white supremacy from the inside. Organized as a study group, ARWAG will read and discuss materials that help us understand how racism operates, especially in its insidious forms that are harder for white people to notice in action—white privilege, unconscious / implicit bias, and structural racism.
Not sure if ARWAG is for you? Want to join the ARWAG Moodle to get the readings and details about upcoming meetings? Contact Jenna Stone (jennifer.stone@lawrence.edu), executive director of budget and planning, or Becca Hollinger (Rebecca.a.hollinger@lawrence.edu), executive assistant in the office of diversity and inclusion, for more information.

We will discuss how these varieties of English are not more correct or incorrect but simply different. We will also discuss language attitudes and ideologies inherent in the idea of standard Englishes and how to recognize and avoid linguistic discrimination.
