Part 1 serves as a prerequisite for parts 2 and 3. If able, please commit to engaging in all 3.
Webinar objectives are:
-
Exploring the complexity of anti-black racism, and the interconnectedness of oppressions.
-
Identifying layers of racism: systemic, cultural, institutional and individual.
-
Creating the connections between layers of racism and the manifestations of racism in the lives of black Canadians.
-
Learning how to apply this knowledge to your social work practice.
In depth:
This introduction to anti-black racism provides an overview of ABR, and why it is important knowledge for social workers. After peeling back the layers of racism (systemic, cultural, institutional and individual) there is a short case study to examine how these layers impact one of the identified manifestations of racism: employment. Senator Bernard gives suggestions for how to incorporate the knowledge learned in this seminar into a wide range of social work positions: frontline, management, policy and research.
