Unlearning Racism Training.

The goals of this workshop are to identify barriers to equity in our personal and professional lives, increase cultural and interpersonal awareness, and explore best practices for equity and inclusion in our private and professional relationships.

Training Outline.

Through individual exploration, dialogue, and role play, participants will:

• Investigate the origins and the historical timeline of racism in the United States.
• Name the ways racism impacts our lives internally, interpersonally, and institutionally. (Eg micro aggressions in the workplace.)

• Identify links between the personal and the political- ways our interpersonal and social policies and practices create barriers to equity. (Eg Repealing the Voting Rights Act.)

• Reimagine social dynamics, spaces, and policies that maximize equity and inclusion, keeping in mind intersectionality.
• Co-create a vision and an action plan for maximizing equity and inclusivity in your workplace.

Key Learning

• Increase awareness of forms of power and privilege as they manifest internally (internalized supremacy or inferiority,) interpersonally (limiting beliefs and behaviors,) and institutionally (policies).
• Practice solidarity and advocacy by interrupting inter-personal injustice.
• Explore methods of resisting systemic bias and racism.
• Develop concrete ideas for redesigning professional spheres to augment justice.
• ​Evaluate personal agency to disrupt racism within the realms of home, work and social spheres. Create a plan for commitment and action.
