UBC Faculty of Education is delighted to offer a free open online anti-racism course

“The Faculty of Education at the University of British Columbia is committed to enacting anti-racism, anti-oppression, equity, diversity, inclusion, and decolonizing practices in its research, teaching and learning; recruitment, retention, and advancement; culture, climate, and wellbeing…” – UBC Faculty of Education: Task Force on Race, Indigeneity and Social Justice: Final Report, 2021

Through systematically uncovering implicit and explicit forms of racism and its colonial and intersectional impacts on marginalized peoples and their communities, participants will gain a deep understanding of the hegemony of racism, as well as how it is embedded and experienced in everyday interactions and relationships.

Learners from across disciplines, professions, organizations and communities will be challenged to think critically about racism, while moving towards awareness, action and dismantling institutional and systemic racism to help create lasting change.
