The deadly effects of institutional and interpersonal racism have been brought to the forefront of our national discourse. The home / school wall has been lifted and the need for families to engage in conversations around race, racism, power, privilege and bias, is critical. What we hear all the time is: I know I have to talk to my child about this, but where do I start? What do I do? What do I say? How much is too much? In the workshop, Talking about Race and Racism with Your Child, our experienced facilitators will share practical ways to support families in engaging in meaningful conversations with their children. This workshop will be followed by a second series of workshops covering specific topics ranging from: 

• Preparing For the Unexpected: Addressing Racist and Biased Remarks with My Kids

• Raising Anti-Racist White Children: Discussing Privilege and Power with My Kids

• How We Read Matters Just As Much As What We Read: Using A Critical Literacy Lens with My Kids

• Understanding My Biases and Helping My Kids Understand Theirs

Facilitators: Michelle Harris, Susan Park, Sophie Rutstein
