This interactive virtual workshop will interrogate the role white supremacy often plays in university-community engagement experiences and will explore anti-racist approaches to our work in and with communities. The workshop is designed for academic partners with prior knowledge or experience with community engagement who are interested in learning more about how to practice anti-racism in their engaged course, research, or program.

Workshop content will build on basic concepts of race, racism, social identity, power, and privilege. If you're newer to these concepts and how they connect to community engagement, you may want to read Tania Mitchell's (2008) “Traditional vs. Critical Service-Learning” before attending.
