The goal of this workshop intended for faculty and staff is to build upon foundational knowledge developed in Racism & Antiracism 1.0: Learning & Unlearning Race & Racism and understand race as a part of how individuals and groups interact at Amherst College. Participants will focus on learning how the campus community has inherited a history of racism as well as understanding the legacy of and the urgency for antiracism at the College.

Upon participating in this workshop, participants will:

Recognize some of the ways racism shows up at various levels at the College

Know how to define and describe antiracism

Be able to articulate why antiracism matters at the College
