White Saviorism: Knowing Your Role in Anti-Racism, Equity, and Inclusion
Thursday, October 21, 2021 (10:00 AM - 1:00 PM) (EDT)
Description
As White folks, we often do not seek to understand what our role is in anti-racism, equity and inclusion, even in our own workplaces and community spaces. This training will help you understand the 8 White Identities and find your role in the ongoing work of racial and social justice in our communities. All learner types were thought of when planning this training, with times for individual reflection, small group work, and full group sharing. Join us to say no to White Saviorism and commit to working toward being an ally and accomplice.
- Cultural, Religious, and Racial tensions
- Moving from Indifference to Action
- The 8 White Identities
- White Savior Complex
- Interpersonal vs. Systemic Discrimination
- Contradictions for White Folks in Racial Justice Work
- Interrupting Dominant White Culture
Learning Objectives:
- You will understand the levels of Whiteness and identify where you are on your journey.
- You will hear stories of both marginalization and hope from MN communities.
- You will learn about White Saviorism and understand your role in racial and social justice as a White person working toward being an ally and accomplice.
