Self-Reflective Approach to Discussions On Race
Stages of identity development for both people in the white racial group and those of color
Course Description
As someone who identifies as White, you might be wondering where you fit into this conversation on race. It can be scary and intimidating to engage in conversation about race. Part of understanding someone else’s walk through the world is understanding your own White racial identity, that you as a person in the White racial group actually have a racial identity.
This workshop will help you to understand and gain a positive White racial identity through understanding the stages of White identity development. As we are exposed to different experiences, our racial selves move through stages of awareness about race and hopefully begin to reach out to others from different racial groups to have positive, educated, and mutually supportive conversations about race.
Participants in the workshop will be able to:
- Identify and understand the stages of White Racial Identity Development.
- Identify stages of Racial Identity for people of color and how you can help support the students of color as they move from one stage to another.
- Understand what blocks racial identity development.
- Be able to think of self in racial terms.
- Have more comfortable and educated conversations about race.
- Understand racial identity development for people of color.
- Understanding how being aware of where someone else is in their racial identity development can bring you to a more compassionate and understanding, supportive mindset around race.
