Equity in Practice: A 2-day virtual how-to with Dr. Anu Taranath (Via Zoom)
A FREE 2-day virtual how-to with Dr. Anu Taranath.
Do you want to get better talking about race and other social issues? Would you like to grow your skills and capacity to navigate discomfort and intervene? Join Dr. Anu Taranath for this two-part series that offers participants opportunities to reflect and practice in a safe, non-judgmental environment.
Through conversation and scenario role-play, attendees will be able to recognize and positively respond to interpersonal situations that deal with race, ethnicity, gender and/or cultural biases. We will practice civic engagement and consensus building, and bring the concepts of Equity and Social Justice into our everyday lives.
There is no cost for this training; however, attendance for both dates and registration are required.
Anu Taranath is a professor at the University of Washington specializing in global literature, identity, race, and equity. She has received University of Washingtons Distinguished Teaching Award, a Best of Seattle designation from Seattle Weekly, and multiple national Fulbright awards and fellowships. She is the author of the book, Beyond Guilt Trips: Mindful Travel in an Unequal World, as well as a consultant for schools, colleges, libraries, community organizations, and government agencies on social justice and global issues. Dr. Taranath is also part of Humanities Washington Speakers Bureau on topics such as: "Tangled: Why Your Hair Matters to Society."
Feedback from previous attendees:
This is a lifetime learning ongoing, we need dedicated time to keep the conversation going.
Makes me feel a little more comfortable with the uncomfortable.
Shifting away from the shame/blame paradigm is useful.
I love Anus style of making everyone feel included.
