Project Description
The White Racial Literacy Project provides an educational environment and reflective opportunity for white people within the IUPUI community to unpack misconceptions and misinformation about structural racism. Oftentimes, racist acts and thoughts are fueled by stereotypes, implicit bias, and lack of knowledge. This project will enhance participant’s racial literacy to realize that racial equity efforts should and must include white people. For IUPUI’s 50th Anniversary, this initiative will communicate who we are and who we wish to become by engaging those who aspire to facilitate racial equity, yet oftentimes are unsure, afraid, or unaware of their potential to facilitate change.
