Where: Zoom link provided upon enrollment.

Prerequisites:

• Understand the basic concepts & language for race & racism, racial consciousness, anti-racism, prejudice, bias, white privilege, white supremacy etc. The group is not a historical plunge into understanding racism, but rather, specifically about ‘whiteness’.

Underlying assumptions:

• Raising racial consciousness is fundamental to majority cultures coming to understand how they perpetuate racism – and thus oppression – often without intention to do so.

• Healing racism requires acknowledging discomfort and proceeding anyway.

• It’s our responsibility as social creatures to understand our various identities. In this course, the focus is whiteness.

• Sustained change happens in small groups (up to 8 people).

• Personal reflection, active practices and opportunities for dialogue are critical parts of [racial consciousness] development.

• Introspection, a willingness to dialogue, reflect, get uncomfortable & practice integrating new ways of being is required for transformative change.

• Group setting provides accountability for taking real action.
