2011 Unmasking Whiteness
AWARE-LA is happy to announce that we are offering our 3rd annual workshop series on building white anti-racist practice and community in an intensive 4-day institute designed specifically for white people.
The institute will run from Thursday, June 23rd through Sunday, June 26th, 2011 and will take place on the downtown Los Angeles, Mount St. Mary’s College, Doheny campus. The cost for attendance is only $200 when you register (before March 31st) in order to ensure that it’s accessible to grass roots organizers, students, and those without institutional funding.
This series invites white people to deepen their self awareness and build community with other white people taking up work for racial justice. Through personal reflection, small and large group dialogue, and experiential activities, this institutes invites the exploration of subjects such as:
* The meaning of whiteness
* White privilege and multiple identities
* How to resolve guilt and shame
* Systemic white supremacy (institutional racism)
* Development of an anti-racist practice and identity
Please pass on this information, our flyer and information sheet, to anyone you feel might be interested in this event. Please contact Shelly Tochluk at stochluk@msmc.la.edu for information regarding registration or if you have any questions.
