This course meets virtually on the following weekends: 10/5-6; 10/19-20; 11/9-10; 11/16/17 from 12-3.
This course sets out to cultivate critical thinking, self-reflection, and practical skills necessary for individuals to become effective allies and foster inclusive communities in diverse contexts. Through dynamic interactive discussions, engaging activities, and introspective exercises, students will explore the complex dynamics of power, privilege, and the potential for transformative change within the societal systems they navigate daily. Equipped with the tools to become proactive practitioners of allyship, students will be able to effectively navigate and address issues of inequality, discrimination, and marginalization in personal, professional, and community settings. By developing a deep understanding of power dynamics and the influences of privilege, students will learn how to actively challenge systemic barriers and advocate for inclusivity. They will gain practical skills in communication, empathy, and cultural competence, enabling them to create safe and supportive spaces where diverse perspectives are valued and respected. With a heightened awareness of their own biases and a commitment to ongoing self-reflection, students will be empowered to take meaningful action, amplify marginalized voices, and work towards creating equitable and inclusive environments.
Students will actively challenge assumptions, unravel biases, and create safe environments that nurture personal development and forge meaningful connections. Through their journey in this course, students will emerge as knowledgeable, empathetic, and effective allies, ready to contribute to positive social change and foster inclusive communities in every facet of their lives. Participants will be encouraged to actively engage, engage in respectful dialogue, and embrace discomfort as a catalyst for their own growth and the collective advancement of society.
