RACIAL JUSTICE WORKSHOP: New Racism: A Cross-Racial Perspective
Workshop Description:

This workshop will be facilitated by an interracial team: Darlene Flynn and Robin DiAngelo. Through lecture, discussion and exercises, we will explore: a framework for understanding racism; how racism has adapted over time; what makes modern forms of racism so hard for many to see; normalized white racial patterns; and the perspectives and skills needed for challenging new racism. Topics covered include

1) Basic anti-racism theory
2) The dynamics of internalized racial oppression and internalized racial dominance
3) What makes racism so difficult for whites to see?
4) How to engage constructively across race

About the speakers:

Darlene Flynn has over ten years of experience providing racial equity training to build capacity for creating racial justice in Seattle. She has worked extensively with cross-racial teams seeking to bring about institutional and structural change to create racial equity in the city's communities of color.  In her approach she incorporates perspectives that support people of color in their leadership development and agency. Educational equity has been a focus of Darlene's work as a community activist and led to her serving a four year term on the Seattle Public School Board. She counts that experience among the most valuable and challenging tests of moving from theory to action.  

Dr. Robin DiAngelo is an Associate Professor of Multicultural Education at Westfield State University in Massachusetts. Her scholarship is in Whiteness Studies. Her research is concerned with the challenges of an increasingly white teaching force and an increasingly diverse student population. She has twice been honored with the Student's Choice Award for Educator of the Year.  In addition to her academic work, Dr. DiAngelo has extensive experience as a workplace consultant in issues of race relations and racial justice. She has numerous publications and just released her second book, "What Does it Mean to be White?: Developing White Racial Literacy. Her previous book: Is Everyone Really Equal: An Introduction to Social Justice Education (co-written with Özlem Sensoy) received the Critics Choice Award by the American Educational Studies Association.

This workshop will be preceded by a racial justice lecture: "Showing What We Tell: Building Cross-Racial Relationships". Plan to attend on Thursday, May 21st at 6:30p.m. in Pigott Auditorium.
