Exploring Race, Racism, and Anti-Racism - Part II (Online)

*This workshop is for Concordia faculty, students and staff only*

Exploring Race, Racism, and Anti-Racism is a two-part training program. The first session is theory based and designed to encourage reflection upon contemporary concepts and issues around race as well as racism history. We also pay particular attention to the manifestations and maintenance of racism in the workplace. The second part involves an applied approach, designed to promote, and implement anti-racism best practices through scenarios. The goal of this program is to foster awareness, understanding, and adoption of anti-racism best practices across the campus community with foundational knowledge and tools.

The objectives of Part I are to explore:

• Race and racism concepts and history
• How racism manifests 
• How racism maintains itself
  
  

The objectives of Part II are to:

• Strengthen understanding of anti-racism best practices
  
• Explore how to embed anti-racism best practices 
  
• Share space for conversation and dialogue
