Digital Dominating White Ways August 17th 9am-5pm Central
Sat Aug 17, 2024 9:00 AM - 5:00 PM CDT
Online, Zoom
Description
White supremacy ideology is perhaps the greatest barrier to achieving socio-political, economic, cultural, and ecological sustainability in the USA. It is critically important that community and institutional leaders grasp the widespread constancy of white supremacy ideology; their conditioned investment in the ideology, and begin to imagine how to collaborate with others to dismantle it. This workshop, "Digital Dominating White Ways: Exploring the Commonplace Nature of White Supremacy and its Power to Co-opt Us," will offer participants:
- A deep dive into white supremacy ideology paying particular attention to how it features dominantly in US culture
- An intersectional exploration of the ways this ideology operates dominantly resulting in the cooptation of systems, institutions, and the people that populate them
- Tools and practices to assess & disrupt how the values and ways of being of white supremacy ideology operate their institutions
