Race remains an important indicator of well-being in US society. When other factors that are cited as the probable reasons for health or social problems (e.g., income, education, parent involvement, access to health insurance, etc.) are controlled for in statistical analyses, race remains an important, independent predictor of health, social, education, criminal justice and other outcomes. Groundwater will build your capacity and knowledge of racial inequities and disparities within our society
This workshop helps participants become clear on how race and racism have been constructed in the US and how ideas about racism live in our unconscious minds and social structures even 50 years after the successes of the Civil Rights movement.
This workshop is important for all people who are committed to eliminating racism. It provides an analysis that helps participants gain clarity about how racism is organized and how to work to disrupt its powerful influence.
Expected Outcomes:
- Participants gain an understanding of the imperative of eliminating racism
- Participants have a better working knowledge of race and racism, its history and legacy today
- Participants have a common language to assist in having more productive dialogue
- Participants have an introduction to the ways they have internalized constructed oppression
- Participants have knowledge and resources to continue learning
