I would highly recommend this course to any white person looking to grow in their understanding and capacity to do anti-racist work. This course not only shares knowledge, it also creates a community that pushes you to do the work both personally and professionally.
If you are a white person looking to learn how to become anti-racist and actively participate in dismantling white supremacy, this course is crucial and a wonderful way to begin.
“A very well-organized and well-researched course that provides a strong scaffolding of personal, interpersonal, institutional, and systemic antiracist knowledge and skills. And the entire course and experience were amplified by the small group discussions and learning pod.”
Taking this course will transform your life. You will be supported, you will be uncomfortable, you will better understand what it means to be brave.
This is a very useful, very thoughtful, very applied course. It’s serious about advancing racial justice and systematic in thinking through the contributions white people can make. I often found myself reflection on - and using - the approaches we learned in my day-to-day work. I give it my highest recommendation!
Make it a priority to unlearn what you know about racism and social inequities and relearn with SJPLA.
This course has been the most impactful thing in my life, hands down. It has put words to my feelings, and helped me understand my power in changing myself and the spaces I occupy.
The course has been an incredibly beneficial way for me to acknowledge and examine internalized white supremacy, structural racism and the ways both impact my work life.
“It comes down to changing how I behave in situations with white family, friends, and colleagues. The course gave me a number of tools to do just that. I want to acknowledge that I had some anxiety about taking this course, but I couldn’t be more happy that I had the opportunity to do so.”
This was an opportunity to share lived experiences, open up in a safe space, role play, and get into the nitty gritty of discussing the intricacies of racism.
