Mark Joseph and Jenny King, faculty members at the Jack, Joseph and Morton Mandel School of Applied Social Sciences, alongside doctoral assistant Braveheart Gillani, will offer their everyday antiracism course again in the spring semester.
“Operationalizing Antiracism for Everyday Impact” is a skill-building course that provides participants with the tools, techniques and practices for effective antiracism. Participants will be equipped for a career disrupting racism in all its forms and manifestations at the internalized/intrapersonal, interpersonal, institutional and system level. The course is built around an Everyday Antiracism framework that has eight key elements: curiosity, structure, perception, belonging, truth, healing, restitution and power.
The course can be attended in-person or online as it suits participants’ needs.
Some comments from student evaluations are:
- “This was a fantastic course and I would highly recommend it to anyone and everyone! I feel like this should be a required course as it really allows people to take a deeper look at themselves and the world we live in. It truly was a pleasure to be in the class—I will miss it!”
- “This course was well-developed and executed. The material covered was extremely informative. Both the readings and assignments helped me to better understand what it means to be an everyday antiracist and implement meaningful change in my life, both personally and professionally.”
The course will meet Tuesday evenings from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. starting Jan. 13. Limited slots are available.
