This course, which welcomes students of all races, focuses on the role of White folks in dismantling racism and in building a racially just society. In a supportive and challenging environment, we'll examine the benefits of White privilege and look at how being unaware of this privilege helps perpetuate racism. We'll discuss short readings and share everyday situations in which we did not speak up. Using role-plays, we'll develop effective ways to speak up. Each of us will make a personal plan for challenging racism in our school, work places, organizations, communities, and/or personal relationships. This workshop is participatory, with a variety of inspiring readings, video clips and exercises.
