WORKSHOPS
This year's conference theme, “Overcoming Racism: Claiming the Power of Storytelling” inspired the following exciting workshops. The Facilitating Racial Equity Collaborative (FREC) Program Committee curated these to engage thoughtful dialogue and action among those who value scholarship, truth-seeking, democracy, and equity. It is our time to create something new together—all of us.
Introductory: These workshops or sessions are designed to support those newer to conversations on race, power, and privilege. Participants will be introduced to fundamental concepts of how racial bias and prejudice develop and how they become structured into institutions and systems.
Intermediate: These workshops or sessions are designed for participants who already have some working knowledge of systems of privilege and oppression. Participants will be challenged to apply their knowledge and analyze effective ways to disrupt racism as it manifests in their daily lives, institutions, and society-at-large.
Advanced: These workshops or sessions offer experienced practitioners ways to share insights, deepen their knowledge, and refine their techniques, methodologies, and skills to effectively disrupt racism and building an antiracist/anti-oppressive society.
