Our second racial justice session is quickly approaching. Wednesday, March 17th @ 6:30pm we'll reconvene with Dr. Watson to engage in personal reflection on race and how it impacts your life. Don't forget to spend some time prior to the session doing the homework:
- READ: Detour Spotting by Jenna Olson (link here)
- REFLECT & JOURNAL: How have you been detouring from engaging in conversations about race?
- PRACTICE: Have a conversation, and practice with the INTERSECTION. Be conscious and Recognize where you are entering from as well as the other person. Analyze what is happening where you are. Work on Equalizing and meeting them where they are.
- ADDITIONALLY, REFLECT more deeply on these questions: Which people, sources, schools, places and experiences shaped your understanding of race. From where did your racial data come and what did it teach you about race?
