Parish Workshop: Seeing Whiteness
A positive racial identity is necessary for anyone who wants to undo racism. But what does that mean for people who are white? In this
Becoming Beloved Community mini-workshop, author and race researcher Ali Michael will help us explore the concept of whiteness, how it shapes what is normal in society, and how understanding it can help white people address racism more effectively. Ali is white and will be sharing stories related to her experiences of learning about race as a white person.
The workshop is free and open to all. A light lunch is included.
Ali Michael, Ph.D., is the Director of K-12 Consulting and Professional Development at the Center for the Study of Race and Equity in Education at the University of Pennsylvania. For more information, see her website alimichael.org.
Becoming Beloved Community is St. Martin’s ongoing anti-racism process.
