Recognizing Racism in Everyday Life
Wednesday, October 16, 3:00 pm to 4:30 pm EDT
During this workshop participants will have the opportunity to learn terms associated with racism and anti-racism, as well as power and oppression and their impact in the global and U.S. context. Additionally, participants will be able to recognize microaggressions and stereotyping that they see portrayed in media and be able to practice responding to real-life incidents of bias and racism that may occur in school, the workplace, or the community.
Learning Objectives:
- Gain knowledge of terms associated with racism, anti-racism, power, and oppression.
- Gain ability to identify incidents of bias in the media and real-life scenarios.
- Practice responding to microaggressions or incidents of bias that may occur in our everyday lives.
This workshop fulfills the anti-racism requirement for the DEI certificate program.
