A dialogue for white students centered around unlearning racism and deconstructing white privilege
Wednesdays 5:30-6:30pm
King Study Room
Unlearning Racism is a space where students who identify as white uncover and explore our white privilege and internalized racial dominance. This is an intentional and supportive space where we practice taking responsibility for and owning our part in structures of oppression. We envision this as a space for dismantling the white supremacist obsession with perfectionism by allowing space for not-knowing-it-all and continual learning in a context of care and curiosity. There are many ways to participate in this group, including sharing your experiences, supporting others, and listening openly and thoughtfully. Please come even if you don't feel comfortable actively contributing. We acknowledge that as white clinicians we can take an active role in dismantling white supremacy and that we must explore how it operates in our lives, relationships, institutional contexts, and clinical work.
