Racism persists as a systemic issue with far-reaching consequences. Becoming an ally against racism is an ongoing journey of learning, understanding, and action; it is about transforming awareness into engagement and bystanders into advocates. This course offers practical guidance for those who want to support colleagues and peers, guiding you through three essential steps to start you on this journey. By understanding the history and different forms of racism, you will learn how to spot discriminatory practices and the sometimes subtle dynamics that sustain them. Through a series of reflective exercises and discussions, you will develop the skills to listen with empathy and to support those whose voices are often marginalized. And crucially, you'll learn how to confidently speak out against racially biased behavior — because being an ally means being ready to act.
