WORKSHOPS
Overcoming Racism: Reclaiming History and Paying What’s Due is the theme of this year’s conference. The theme focuses on two distinct and related topics:
- Historical Recovery - reclaiming movements, strategies, approaches from the past that could be useful in our current work—if they were known, and
- Paying What’s Due to those harmed by oppressive acts sanctioned by government and every other sector in our society in which primarily Black, Indigenous and People of Color (BIPOC) communities were stripped of their land, rights and ability to create generational wealth. Black and Indigenous people also experienced cultural genocide, of which the after effects are still felt today.
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.
