Talking about racism can seem difficult and uncomfortable. The temptation can be to avoid discussion. However; issues around race seldom disappear. This course provides a foundational education on racism to help to increase racial literacy which includes building confidence to speak about and deal with issues of race. It provides a language through which meaningful conversation can take place (particularly in the workplace). Topics include defining race; unconscious bias and microaggressions. These help the learner to understand how racial discrimination takes place with and without conscious awareness. Strategies are shared to enable recognition of different types of racism to promote belonging and inclusion for all.
