About The Course
Anti-race/ism Curriculum Specialist, Dr. Lucretia Berry designed the What LIES Between Us series to guide, support, and equip you with an analytical framework for examining race and racism in the United States.
You will be equipped with a historical, political, and social context for understanding race/ism and how it is sustained. The content will allow you to build a sound knowledge base and develop a perspective beyond popular discourse and uninformed opinions. With a practical understanding of contributing ideologies–like white supremacy, meritocracy, colorblindness–and interpersonal and systemic dynamics—like unconscious bias, and power and privilege—you will have a broadened awareness of yourself, “others,” and our interconnected society.
Each week you will receive instruction and engage in heart work, which includes reflective journaling and completing assignments.
Due to the holidays, registration has been extended to JANUARY 8th!
