    Go a step beyond traditional diversity training and really discover how racism shapes our thinking, communities, institutions and conscious/unconscious behaviors. By understanding what’s at the core of racism, participants can begin to unlearn it and dismantle this very real problem in America. The first workshop will be presented by Dr. Jeff Menzise.

    Specific areas to be explored include:
    • What is Internalized Racism (IR) and Oppression?
    • How has it impacted thinking, behavior, and attitudes in all cultural groups?
    • How is IR evident in the same races, different races, cultures, organizations, and institutions?
    • How is IR and oppression kept alive in the 21st century?
    • What are the benefits to maintaining IR and oppression?
    • How to resist IR?
