Unlearning Racism is a space for students who identify as white to uncover and explore white privilege and internalized racial dominance. This is an intentional and supportive space to practice taking responsibility for and owning our part in structures of oppression. Participants support each other in 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 experiences, supporting others, and listening openly and thoughtfully, and all are welcome even if they don't feel comfortable actively contributing. Participants 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.
The group will meet weekly on Wednesdays during dinner, from 5:45 to 6:45 in the King study room. Feel free to bring dinner!
Please contact Lea Broh (lbroh@smith.edu) or Kat Roubos (kroubos@smith.edu) with any questions.
