Workshop Series Description

This four-session workshop series will provide participants with a foundation in antiracist principles of education and leadership. Leadership in the 21st century must look and be different in order for leaders, businesses, schools, universities and organizations to be successful. The world has changed, workplace cultures have changed, and leaders must be proactive to catch up to the world around them. We cannot remain status quo or use the same leadership development programs to create the workplace and world where everyone can be successful. This Becoming Antiracist Series incorporates anti-racism, diversity, equity, and inclusion strategies throughout. Leaders will learn proactive, innovative and practical skills they can begin implementing personally and professionally to be more purposeful.

Diversity, Leadership & Effective Listening: A #Becoming AntiRacist/Social Justice Imperative

With John G. Igwebuike, JD, PhD is founder and non-profit leader of Guanacaste

This seminar explores the art, skill, and practice of effective listening. Of the major verbal communication modalities--speaking, writing, reading, the receptive mode of listening is least taught, least considered, and least understood. This session asserts listening as a powerful tool, and acknowledges listening as a radical social justice tool to advance diversity, understanding, respect and individual and institutional change. Special attention is given to the notion of “listening-into-healing” and “listeners-as-healers” through the “therapeutic use of self” to foster and support individual/corporate health, self-care, and wellbeing.

Sugarcoated History: Turning the Spotlight on “Woke” Books to Expand the Narrative

With Marguerite W. Penick, PhD, Professor, Editor and Author

Trade Books play an enormous role in schools by encouraging students to engage in information that enhances the curriculum taught in their social studies textbooks. Through challenging content and perspectives, offering new and interesting facts, and sparking inquiry, historical fiction and nonfiction text encourage discussion, analysis, and critical thought. But what happens when access to books that challenge the status quo are not part of the curriculum? This presentation explores possible impacts of sugarcoated history despite the presence of exceptional books. Through the use of sample text, and text selections, participants will engage in why historical fiction and nonfiction literature is critical to a socially constructed classroom.
