Webinar | Anti-Racism in Academia: A Learning Journey - Learn

In response to the dialogue across EDUCAUSE community groups and within our personal lives, a small group of community leaders have developed the Anti-Racism in Academia: A Learning Journey (ARiA) series. The ARiA series was created to inspire a more understanding and inclusive community in higher education by engaging professionals of all levels and across disciplines. Combatting racism on a personal, professional, and communal scale requires time and intentional effort; it really is a journey of discovery and understanding.

The ARiA series framework is organized into five parts: Reach Out, Listen, Learn, Act, Persist.

This month's focus is on Learning from the conversations and shared resources with the goal of achieving conscientiousness around racism. Come join us for the kickoff webinar, and sign-up for a breakout discussion.

Outcomes

We want to enable participants to get the most out of their learning journey. We designed the ARiA framework to accomplish three main goals:

  • Create safe spaces to explore, share, and learn.
  • Promote personal and professional growth through expanded awareness and expanded understanding of different racial perspectives.
  • Empower participants to foster a more inclusive and understanding higher ed community with expanded ideas, perspectives, and strategies.
