Marquette University students, faculty, staff, and administrators are
invited to join Dr. Martha Barry, Racial Justice Director of the YWCA
of Southeast Wisconsin, in a powerful five-part series to develop
individual capacity to discuss and address issues of RACISM. Two-hour
sessions on campus will allow time for review of content in the form
of video clips and exercises as well as listening pairs and small and
large group discussions.The goals of this program are to gain
knowledge, build meaningful relationships, and foster personal
commitment to address racism. Participants will gain an understanding
of implicit bias, the historical implications of race, the role of
economic disparity in housing segregation, and the meaning of
whiteness and internalized racism, and will become equipped with tools
to imagine and build richer relationships across racial differences.
This workshop series is made possible by funding through Beyond
Boundaries, Marquette University's strategic plan, and is hosted by
