Date & Time
March 10, 2022, 4:30 pm – 6:00 pm
Description
This co-facilitated workshop series focuses on various underrepresented and/or marginalized populations. Our goal of the series is to provide UMBC community members with the basic practices for allyship, specifically for the highlighted population.
A follow-up to Robin DiAgelo’s 2018 White Fragility, Nice Racism explores how white progressives perpetuate racism within her diversity training workshops and personal life. This workshop will explore anti-racist practices and concepts, as well as how to engage in ongoing dialogue and skill building toward inclusive excellence and disrupting racial injustice on our campus and beyond.
