Racial justice begins with anti-racism. Anti-racism is the active process of identifying and eliminating racism by challenging systems, organizational structures, policies, practices, and attitudes so that power is redistributed and shared equitably (University of Calgary). This 90 minute, peer-led teach-in will provide attendees with tools and prompts to engage in a meaningful conversation with others as we unpack our varying experiences. Our hope is to raise critical consciousness and understand the opportunity for actions.
Apply a Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, & Anti-racism (DEIA) Lens to Your Strategic Plan
Intentionally applying the values of diversity, equity, inclusion, and anti-racism to your team or organization’s strategic plan sets the stage for stakeholder buy-in, innovative ideas, and human-centered goals and action steps. This course will walk through what it can actually look like to apply a diversity, equity, inclusion, and anti-racism lens to the development and implementation of a plan.
Participants should enter with foundational knowledge on how to create a strategic plan. Participants may want to consider enrolling in our self-paced online foundation-level strategic planning course, “Strategic Planning: A Beginner’s Guide”: https://ssw.umich.edu/continuing-education/catalog/course/CAT6502

This 90 minute workshop is focused on bystander intervention in response to anti-Black racism, however it does not negate or minimize other types of racism, and it also covers unconscious bias, social identities, and social justice.
Learning Objectives:
