I offer classes focused on racism/antiracism that include examining classism, sexism, heterosexism and other forms of oppression.
I work with white groups on white privilege/racism and with multiracial groups I co-facilitate with a friend of color on racism and racial justice.
Classes
1. For white groups:
A) Focusing on anti-racism history, awareness and activism.For example:
How does racism work?
What are institutional and structural racism?
What does it mean to be anti-racist?
How is classism involved? Sexism? Etc.?
What are our relationships (or lack thereof) with people of color?
What can I personally do as a white person?B) Focusing on white privilege.
For example:
What is white privilege?
How does white privilege work on all levels: personal, institutional and structural (societal)?
How do I relate to my white privilege?
What kinds of changes do I need to make?
