Anti racism workshop series at SFU

A series of three interactive Anti-Racism workshops organized by Simon Fraser Public Interest Research Group, SFU Women’s Centre, SFU’s Out-On-Campus, and African Carribean Heritage Students Association. Facilitated by No One Is Illegal-Vancouver.

The workshops will explore racism and several themes including colonization, migration, white privilege, globalization, intersections with gender and sexuality, institutional racism within media and education, and the application of anti-racism to organizational practice
and process.

People are encouraged to attend the full series of workshops, although each workshop is self-contained and can be attended individually.

The workshops are free of charge and will include snacks and beverages. Workshops are wheelchair accessible. Childcare, transportation, and accessibility subsidies are available through SFPIRG.
