Overview
Building off of the foundation of module 1, module 2 explores how social power and privilege have roots in racism. It discusses how learners can utilize their spheres of influence to confront racial prejudice and discrimination to create more equitable work environments. It also focuses on allyship in the workplace and how to effectively disrupt the status quo. Through the use of examples and tools, participants will learn how to actively intervene against incidences of racial bias. It will also help those who are interested in allyship feel more confident influencing the change of practices that result in racial marginalization within their work environment.
