About the Course

White Fragility is a book study that analyzes the system of white supremacy and why it is challenging for white people to discuss racism.  As the United States' student population becomes increasingly diverse, "it is essential educators develop skills to understand and examine bias, racism, and race, especially their own." Robin Diangelo’s book examines how white fragility has developed over time, how it furthers the racial caste system, and how to make repair and move towards systematic change.  This course will be ideal for the educator who wants to learn how to become more anti-racist, to challenge systems of white supremacy, and to consider what this work looks like within education.  Look forward to much reflection and discussion that will likely cause discomfort, growth, and action.

Reviews

Paul Schkade
The book and the class really challenged my thinking about white fragility. It spurred a lot of honest, authentic discussions with my colleagues in the class and provided a wide array of resources about how to be an "ally" for people of color. It is well worth your time if you want to know how to be a better advocate for your students of color and their families.
Jennifer Hutman
This class was very challenging and thought-provoking. It provided me with a new lens that will immediately impact my teaching and other relationships moving forward. A tough read, at times, but necessary.
Scott Slaby
Great class that really encourages you to reflect on your own life and teaching practices.
