“As a society, we need to start treating antiracism as action, not emotion—and Kendi is helping us do that.”—Ijeoma Oluo
Join facilitators Caroline Leffall and Marie Brissette to read and discuss how Kendi defines racism, and explore the difference between being “not racist” and antiracist. Become aware of subtle racist ideas and learn how we can be more supportive of antiracist policies. This book club will focus on discussing the concepts above as well as provide time to reflect, share our own thoughts, and learn from others. Participants will have a chance to develop responses to racism inside and outside of the classroom.
Tuesdays, September 29 – November 17, 2:30 – 4 p.m. (no meeting on October 20)
$250 stipend for attending a minimum of 5 of the 7 sessions and completing a short project
15 PD Hours
