Racism is a highly complex, pervasive, and tenacious phenomenon to combat, and many tools and approaches are needed. Cross-racial contact, experiences, and dialogues are an effective part of this work, but intraracial work is important as well. The Anti-Racism and Ally Building Group has the goal of promoting White students' awareness of how they have been socialized into racism, increasing their cultural competence, and helping them become better racial allies. We encourage participants to take responsibility for their own learning, and hope they will leave the group with a better understanding of racism, better able to engage fellow White people in promoting an anti-racism stance, and generally, to take responsibility for combating racism in themselves and our society. The group will consist of 6-8 students.
