Program Description

Event Details

We know racism exists, but we often fail to understand the dynamics at play in perpetuating it. Join us to gain a deeper understanding of such dynamics ecologically, discussing such concepts as implicit bias and critical race theory, amongst others. We’ll also learn not only what we can say but what we can do as individuals, families, and communities to make our world more equitable.
