Change It Up! © Anti-Black Racism is an interactive session where participants will learn about ways their identities can influence how they interact with others, as well as strategies they can start using immediately to navigate some of these interactions when harm is involved. 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:
Develop a common language and historical perspective of anti-Black racism and unearned racial advantage/privilege
Identify common situations of anti-Black racism based on definitions and historical perspectives taught in the session, including what it looks like in the engineering community, profession, student orgs, research, etc.
Interrupt anti-Black racist harmful behavior as you see or experience it

Intended Audience: This session is open to all SPH Faculty & Staff members, and will be particularly useful for SPH community members who are looking to increase their knowledge of foundational concepts related to structural racism and anti-racism. Workshop Description: Recent discussions around root causes of social, political and economic inequity have emerged in response to “the perfect storm” of a pandemic, racial unrest, and political divide over the last few years. Often lacking from these conversations is the throughline that runs from this country’s foundation to differences across health and life trajectory at work today.
This session will help participants:
- learn about the historical underpinnings of the harmful power imbalances we see and experience today,
- connect that historic legacy to the field of Public Health and
- begin to consider our own relationship to these power imbalances as faculty & staff in a school of public health.
