ONLINE: Structural racism. Systemic inequality. White supremacy. Reflecting decades-long activism to rectify racial inequities, these and similar terms are increasingly being used in U.S. popular discourse, on the news, on social media and in our own OLLI classes. But they are often not defined or explained. Whether you are newly learning about these systemic problems or have been engaged in long-standing anti-racist work, this course can provide you with the tools you need to engage more deeply in conversations about and actions against structural racism. Drawing on both in-depth academic research and accessible video explainers, this course covers foundational theories of structural racism, key terms and definitions, and applications to the legal and health care systems. Together we will work through these ideas and become more conversant in the problems, explanations and solutions related to dismantling racial inequities in U.S. society. | Facilitated discussion.
