This course will introduce students to the Courageous Conversations protocol designed to facilitate healthy conversations about race, racial equity and social justice. Students will be introduced to the five tenants of Critical Race Theory (CRT) and learn how to isolate race, as they reflect on their own personal life experiences. Students will read relevant articles, discuss current events and examine common historical practices within the United States. Students will actively engage in dialogue focused on the role race and racism have in perpetuating social disparities between dominant and marginalized racial groups and actively engage in small and large group discussions.
