Anti-Racism Dialog IV with Tarah Fleming

After decades of work in multiculturalism, diversity and now equity and justice, we are coming to terms with the knowledge that white supremacy is deeply embedded into all of our behaviors, people of color included, and therefore into the design of all our institutions and social systems. How do we get systems and policies to change if we are not actively eradicating white dominant culture (WDC) from our interactions with each other? How do we re-design systems free of inequitable and unjust practices of our past in order to decrease the high level of disparities we are all witnessing in the systems where we work? This virtual workshop will provide a welcoming and blame free environment to gain clarity on what WDC is and is not, and how we can develop our equity lens to better identify when WDC is at play. Using a technique called Liberatory Design we will learn how to implement mindsets for new individual behaviors, create more equitable community values and co-design innovative frameworks for the systems we work in.
