Course Overview:
Equity work is ultimately about human connection. It's about our connection to ourselves and our humanity, which extends to those around us, as well as impacts our ability to effect larger scale change within our work spaces. While organizations across industries are prioritizing diversity, equity, and inclusion, well-intentioned change agents often struggle with navigating the internal and external transformations needed to move beyond diversity and authentically create space for and uphold equity, anti-racism, and social justice.
In this reflection-based course, you will:
1. Gain clarity on your individual strengths and opportunity areas within equity work (self)
2. Learn to identify ways in which white supremacy culture, power, vulnerability, and identity impact your workplace relationships (self to others)
3. Strengthen your capacity to introduce, support, and lead equity-centered organizational policy and systems change (self to systems)
