DIVERSITY CONSCIOUSNESS EDUCATION SERIES
WHAT IS DIVERSITY CONSCIOUSNESS?
Consciousness is the state of being mindfully perceptive of something — e.g., one’s own existence, perspectives, surroundings, etc. This state of mind is necessary to develop diversity consciousness: the understanding, awareness, and skills that empower us to contemplate and value human differences. Diversity consciousness development is a lifelong practice requiring humility, intentionality, and persistence.
DEVELOPING DIVERSITY CONSCIOUSNESS
Our Education Series
This series takes an introspective approach to engaging issues of race — with a focus on anti-Blackness — and provides participants a framework to analyze the complexity and pervasiveness of structural racism and reflect on what they can do individually and collectively, to foster antiracist practices, cultures, and communities.

Session One – Understanding Racism and Antiracism
Session Two – Examining Ourselves and Our Worlds
Session Three – Expanding Our Knowledge of Others and Their Worlds
Session Four – Stepping Outside of Ourselves
