E-Course Overview from SpeakOut
Talking openly and knowledgeably about race is an ever-increasing competency that students are expected to develop. That is why SpeakOut and SHIFT created the Race, Power, & Privilege E-Course. This powerfully-packaged experience helps students tap into their imaginations to grow and thrive in a diverse campus setting.
Through accessible multimedia modules, SHIFT presenters guide students through a framework of individual, collective, and institutional levels of power. The modules:
unpack prejudice, discrimination, and oppression
cover key definitions essential to anti-racism education
offer activities to assess and evaluate one’s own identity and responsibility
outline steps to practice solidarity
Join us on this journey towards building equitable and anti-racist institutions!
