DATE CHANGE! Awakening to Change: A Social Justice Discussion Group

Awakening to Change is designed to help unify our community by developing a shared understanding of the history, policy, and experiences shaping contemporary discussions of race. We tackle a new topic each month, sometimes reading books, discussing films, or learning from articles. All are welcome to join!

This month we’ll be Exploring Culture.Workplaces, organizations and even households have culture – unspoken “rules” and norms that determine how people act and relate to one another. In many organizations in the US, workplace and organizational cultures reflect whiteness in ways that can be harmful for BIPOC. Kenneth Jones and Tema Okun call this a ‘white supremacy culture.’ Examples include individualism, objectivity, either/or thinking, and an emphasis on quantity over quality. You will be asked to read the article, ‘White Supremacy Culture – Still Here” before our group discussion.
