Anti-Racism: Learning to Listen and Listening to Learn

Description

Often, we hear what people of color are saying, but our unconscious bias tunes it out because it's not happening to us. We may hear a story or a statistic, but since it's out of our realm of normalcy, our brain has a tendency to push it out of the way. In this course we'll review how to listen to and learn from people of color. Specifically, we talk about resources you should turn to for information, how to respect a person of color who is sharing their experience with you, how to avoid gaslighting, and when it's appropriate for you to speak up instead of just listen.
