Racial Literacy & Restorative Practices
Our Racial Literacy workshops invite honest, transformative dialogue. Participants report feeling safe, seen, and challenged in all the right ways.
About The Pathway…
This six-part workshop series builds participant capacity to recognize, understand, and respond to racial and intersectional harm in youth-serving spaces through restorative and trauma-informed practices. Each session is standalone, but together they provide a powerful progression: starting with racial identity and systemic racism, moving into ableism, sexism, and classism, and culminating in restorative trauma-informed responses and action planning.
About the Workshops…
Racial Identity Frameworks & Reflection
Understanding race begins with understanding ourselves. In this session, you’ll explore racial identity development models and reflect on your own journey. Through guided activities and dialogue, participants will examine how identity shapes perceptions and relationships in classrooms, workplaces, and communities.
Ableism
Ableism often goes unseen, yet it impacts classrooms, organizations, and communities in profound ways. This session examines how ableism operates as part of systemic oppression and invites participants to consider inclusive, restorative approaches that honor diverse abilities and ways of being.Sexism And Gender Bias
Sexism And Gender Bias
Sexism and gender bias harm relationships, limit opportunities, and silence voices. In this session, you’ll learn how these patterns show up across schools, workplaces, and communities, and practice restorative approaches that affirm equity, belonging, and respect for all gender identities.Classism
Classism
Economic inequities create barriers that ripple through classrooms and communities alike. This workshop explores how classism affects opportunities, power, and relationships, and how restorative practices can support dignity, inclusion, and solidarity across differences in income and social class.Restorative & Trauma Informed Responses to Oppression and Intersectionality: Action Planning
Restorative & Trauma Informed Responses to Oppression and Intersectionality: Action Planning
This culminating workshop integrates lessons on racial literacy, ableism, sexism, and classism into a restorative, trauma-informed framework for action. Participants will design personalized and organizational strategies to respond to oppression and foster equity in classrooms, workplaces, and community spaces.
Note: Because this session builds on the content of earlier workshops, it is strongly recommended that participants attend other parts of the series or be able to demonstrate prior knowledge of these topics.Graduate Credit Options
