    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. This workshop is presented by Tim Wise, author and national anti-racist trainer and lecturer.

    Areas to be explored include:
    • Examine how privilege operates at both the material and psychological levels to maintain racial inequity.
    • Help participants understand how even persons who are liberal and not overtly racist can manifest privilege in everyday operations, within schools, workplaces, and elsewhere.
    • Conclude with a discussion of how whites can become better allies to persons of color, and challenge white privilege, both individually and institutionally.
    • Called "one of the most brilliant, articulate, and courageous critics of white privilege in the nation," by Georgetown University professor and best-selling author, Michael Eric Dyson, Wise has spoken at over 400 college campuses including Harvard and Yale Law School. He has educated physicians, corporations, teachers, law officials, and many others on how to dismantle racism in their institutions and in their lives.
