Widespread publicity about many aspects of race make it almost impossible to ignore the impact of racism in the United States. Concepts like “white supremacy,” a phrase previously used only to describe extreme overt bigots, has found its way into mainstream conversation. Increased understanding of the fact that racism has an impact on almost every aspect of life in this country has created the need for developing cultural competence and a common language for talking about race and racism. This course will use So You Want to Talk About Race by Ijeoma Oluo as a framework for exploring personal biases and systemic racism with a goal of creating greater understanding of this complex issue.

  • There is an optional reading packet.
  • So You Want to Talk About Race - Ijeoma Oluo (ISBN-13: 978-1580058827)
