Watch Whiteness Work: Race and Power in the US
How has race, and in particular whiteness, operated in US history? Many of the answers to this question are in front of our proverbial noses, yet all too often remain hidden when we talk about equity, inclusion, and power. This session will offer some examples of how that "hidden-ness" does damage to all of us, and some provocations to spur us in dismantling the structures of inequality and injustice that have been built around all of us. |
