Four Anti-racism/Whiteness Trainings
Co-sponsored by Staff Association and People & Workplace Culture

Facilitated by Dr. David Derezotes  


A series of four anti-racism workshops will be offered to those members of the SLCC community who identify as White. The intention of these workshops to co-create a brave space where participants do the often hard work of examining our own racism and White privilege and committing to anti-racist actions. We begin our work with the awareness that we are all living in a racist culture and participate, often unconsciously, in racist actions. A limit of 30 participants will be enrolled, and participants will be asked to commit to attending all four workshops. All workshops will be conducted over zoom once a month, in January, February, March & April 2021. Each workshop will be 90 minutes long, and will have a check in, a short didactic segment related to the literature, an experiential learning segment, and a check out. 

 

Workshop Spring dates: January 13, 2021; February 10, 2021; March 10, 2021 and April 7, 2021

 

Dr. David Derezotes (Dr. Dave) is Professor, University of Utah, Chair of Mental Health, College of Social Work, Director of Peace & Conflict Studies, College of Humanities, Fellow, Center for Teaching & Learning Excellence, Facilitator for President Watkin's Anti-Racism Task Force, Chair of Senate Advisory Committee on Diversity SACD, and MUSE Professor, Undergraduate Studies.He has been facilitating dialogues on campus and in the local and regional communities for over 30 years.

The Distinguished Faculty Lecturer is a recognition of quality work by one of Salt Lake Community College’s full-time faculty and a charge to develop that work over an academic year into a public presentation.

Andrew describes curiosity as a pure, open-minded impulse to explore, such as the ease with which children learn new concepts with virtually no instruction. Efficiency adds maturity to that childlike impulse, creating structures and pathways for accomplishment.  Andrew’s work has alwa...
