Examining Bias & Racism Workshop

Tuesday, November 10 and 17, 2020, 7 to 8:30 pm

Recent national events have brought an awareness of the persistence of racial discrimination in private and public settings. To make meaningful change and move toward God’s plan for this world, we must begin with ourselves: understanding the biases we all carry, and how they affect our own lives and our interactions with other people.

Engaging in Justice & Service is partnering with “Not in Our Town” to offer a two-part series on Zoom to help us do that. You must be able to attend both sessions. Click here or email Lucy Ducko lducko@hopewellpres.org to register.

This opportunity came up in a conversation that started with Barb Pauley and a facilitator at this past Gospel Brunch. Feedback from participants in previous iterations of this workshop include:

“The workshop made me more aware of my own implicit biases as well as those that are embedded in social norms. “

“It has helped me be more aware of implicit bias in myself and others. It also helped me think more about how white privilege is so ingrained in our society. Some of the other concepts that were described were also informative, e.g. micro-aggression.”
