From the United Methodist General Commission on Religion and Race, this online course centers on one big idea: the differences between anti-racism and defending oneself against charges of racism. As a 101 course, the content will focus on defining anti-racism as interrupting and dismantling racism; identifying which actions fall into categories of anti-racism (avoidance or defending oneself against charges of racism); and building resilience to white fragility. The three sessions will roughly fall under these categories: theory (big idea), practice (identifying the differences), and personal (internal work).
By taking this course, students will:
- Learn how to explain anti-racism to your church siblings or family
- Build your skills in interrupting racism in real-time
- Practice becoming stronger against white fragility – overcome the temptation to give up when the realities of racism become intense
- Create a foundational toolbox to disrupt and dismantle racism that will ground any other anti-racism work you do
