module 2: Working to understand Race & Racism
​   Part 1: Introduction to Understanding race & racism

​An overview of race and racism was included in racial identity development (Module 1, Part 4), but will be explored more in this module. The social construction of race and the racial underpinnings of society will be explored through several different resources and perspectives. Understanding the origin and prevalence of racism will aid in moving to individual and collective action.

Here's an overview of this module on Understanding Race & Racism:
Part 2. Defining Racism & Antiracism
Part 3. The Power of an Illusion
Part 4. Systemic/Institutional Racism
Part 5. Understanding Race & Racism: Optimistic Closure
