This series is intended for all persons who do not have lived experiences of racism and homophobia and are interested in exploring these topics.
Each session will introduce core concepts and include time for conversation and personal reflection, as well as recommendations for further learning and actions.
Workshops take place online over Zoom. One week prior to each session participants will receive an email confirmation with Zoom instructions and reading and viewing materials. Please read in advance and come prepared to engage in a thoughtful conversation.
What to Expect: Through reading, deep listening, questioning, and personal reflection, participants will explore the theoretical frameworks of black, indigenous, and queer traditions informing contemporary creative movements of reclamation and healing.
For questions about this series please contact Public Programs Director Michelle Daly at mdaly@edithwharton.org.
