Fundamentals of Indigenous Education and Anti-Racism for Faculty and Staff | |
|
Last spring, Centennial piloted the Fundamentals of Indigenous Education and Anti-Racism (Fundamentals) program with managers, who overwhelmingly reported development of deeper awareness, knowledge and increased capacity to promote more anti-racist workplace environments.
This fall, the College’s seven divisions are coordinating enrolment for employees to experience this unique learning opportunity developed by Centennial’s Innovation, Inclusion, Reconciliation and Healing (IIRH) Portfolio, in partnership with Nakanagis Consulting, an Indigenous-owned company, and with support of the Strategic Talent Management team. The program offers ways to build shared awareness and common language with which to dialogue, problem solve and learn as a college community, and it supports Centennial in pursuit of the institutional goal to “Embody Indigenization, Equity, Diversity and Inclusion”. Fundamentals consists of digital content and a synchronous conversation to strengthen knowledge and awareness in six essential areas:
- Anti-Indigenous racism
- Anti-Black racism
- Anti-Asian racism
- Understanding Race, Racism and White Supremacy
- Microaggressions – Harmful, interpersonal actions
- Bystander intervention
For information about participation and registration, please speak with your chair, coordinator, manager or other team leader.
For more information about the program content, please contact IIRH.
