SEAONC SE3 Racial Equity Book Club Bi-Monthly Meetings
The SEAONC SE3 Racial Equity Book Club meets every other month, beginning in January 2021, on the second Thursday of the month to discuss a book, article, or other form of media that discusses topics of racial equity. Discussions will be informal, no registration is required, and all you need to bring is yourself!
March 2021: History of Whiteness and Understanding Racism
Date | Time: Thursday, March 11, 2021, 6:30PM - 7:30PM
In this month’s book club we will be discussing the concept, history, and construct of whiteness, different views of racism and unconscious bias, and their impact on how we interact with each other. As a group, we’ll review some of the narratives that are brought up in Robin DiAngelo’s short interview (and some of the criticisms) and our awareness and comfort level in talking about race and racism. We will reflect on our personal experiences in living in primarily white environments, expectations of people of color “acting white”, and the ways in which we can move past just talking.
Estimated Preparation Time: Less than 1 hour
Date | Time: Thursday, March 11, 2021, 6:30PM - 7:30PM
