Unpacking White Identity: Moving Beyond Defensiveness
PRESENTERS: Marlene Kowalski-Braun and Madison Creutz (staff)
What does it mean to have whiteness as a predominant part of your identity? What is white fragility and how does it show up in people’s everyday lives? This session explores how people who identify as white can work toward sustained accountability as an ally in addressing issues of race-based oppression. Together, we will unpack the concept of white fragility as we engage in conversation around deepening anti-racist commitments through movements for race-based social change. Workshop.
