An invitation for white people to engage with personal impacts of whiteness, privilege and structural racism.
Online and ongoing
An invitation for white people to join us in the essential and difficult work of facing up to the dynamics of unconscious and systemic racism and our part in it, in a nonviolent environment. We will share exercises in awareness and exploring personal experience, being with discomfort – rather than acting out defensively.
The groups will be comprised of 6-8 participants with two facilitators. We will use resources such as Saad’s “Me and White Supremacy”, the Scene on Radio podcast series “Seeing White” and DiAngelo’s “White fragility” as starting points to discuss our own experiences of noticing our unconscious racism and our learning about the impacts of systemic power and privilege on BIPOC.
During our groups we will make use of tools from non violent communication developed by OpenEdge in combination with critical social methods approaches to inform our organisation of the focus groups. The project will use critical content analysis and creative approaches in their analysis of the results and output, in particular how we can build bottom up and local strategies addressing white privilege in the fight for racial justice.
