For years society has encouraged colorblind ideology without taking into consideration the impact it has on people of color. Through interactive activities, lecture, video, and discussion, participants are challenged to examine racial stereotyping and its effect on relationships and ethnic/racial identity. As a result, participants deepen their appreciation of challenges facing people of color, grow in self-awareness and develop knowledge of the research on implicit bias as a way to begin to explore ways to effectively engage across cultures. In this class, participants will…
1. Learn norms, tools and a common language for engaging in courageous conversations about race;
2. Increase understanding of implicit bias and the impact of stereotype threat;
3. Raise awareness in how implicit bias and racial stereotyping presents itself in your current role.
