Understanding Race Relations
Do you want to engage in conversations about race but are worried about saying the wrong thing? Do you experience racial tensions in your personal or professional life but don’t know why? Are your views on race changing and/or evolving? This one day introductory workshop is designed for individuals who want to understand how race matters in the 21st century. Participants will engage in activities designed to increase your awareness of diverse experiences.
Day II

Power, Privilege and Leadership
White supremacy, privilege and power are among the most charged issues facing us today and all members of society are affected by this. Yet most forums that address race focus on oppressed or underprivileged groups, leaving over privileged perspectives, experiences and identity normalized and unexplored. This workshop will shift the focus and provide an opportunity for participants to learn leadership skills while reflecting on what it means to be White, privileged and powerful within a society that is racially stratified.
