CONVERSATIONS
ABOUT
WHITENESS

5-week course: This  experience anticipates being repeated three times a year.

Keep an eye on the Beebe Library Calendar -

​

Explores How White People Can Better Understand and

Then Take A Stand Against Racism.

Based on similar grass-roots courses offered around the country.

​

During five weekly two-hour sessions, we will each see our whiteness in ways we never have before. We will reflect on unconscious biases, white privilege, race, and racism. We'll explore some ways racial divides are embedded in institutions; think about tools to interrupt these divides; brainstorm about collaborating with each other and with people of color;

and individually plan for what to do with this new knowledge. 

​

Guided by two facilitators, we explore aspects of our culture that prevent us from seeing ourselves and people of color without deeply ingrained distortions. With video clips, articles and small and large group activities, Conversation About Whiteness brings people together in a safe setting to see how this came to be.

​

This is a virtual series, which will be presented on Zoom.

Participants will be sent a link on the afternoon of the first session.

Because each session builds on the content and connections from previous sessions, it is strongly encouraged that you attend all five.
