Building an Antiracist Society

Contributor: World Trust Educational Services

The purpose of this module is to provide a frame that supports Understanding the System of Racial Inequity by:

• Providing a “systems” frame that allows individual and group exploration into the nature of structural racialization
• Understanding what it means to use a systems analysis for understanding structural inequities
• Developing emotional intelligence and practicing strategic approaches to address structural inequity.

Context/Target Audience: Understanding the System of Racial Inequity is a starting place, ideal for those new to structural racism. These groups might include parents and teachers in K - 12 school communities, higher education professors and administrators, local and national government employees, health care providers, faith-based leaders and practitioners, and community-based cultural workers. The module is broken into sections that are ideally implemented in order, with the community builder first, the main lesson plan in the middle, book-ended by artistic production or case studies and next steps.

Estimated Time: 4 Hours
