Training outline & objectives

Understanding race & ethnicity

  • Differentiate between race, ethnicity, and nationality, exploring how these terms intersect and influence individual identity and social categorization.
  • Examine race as a social construct, recognizing the historical and political contexts that have shaped racial categories such as Black, Asian, Pacific Islander, and White.

  • Explore the implications of racial categorization and its impact on individuals' lived experiences, emphasizing the importance of understanding and addressing systemic racism.

Navigating terminology

  • Recognize the appropriate usage of race and ethnicity when identifying individuals by their background, distinguishing between race as a perceived social category and ethnicity as a cultural or ancestral identity.
  • Learn when to use race as a descriptor and when to use ethnicity, promoting accurate and respectful language that acknowledges individuals' diverse backgrounds and identities.

Building anti-racist workplaces

  • Analyze strategies for addressing racism at an organizational level, including creating anti-racist workplaces that challenge discriminatory practices and promote diversity, equity, and inclusion.
