Christians Seeking Justice (CSJ) is excited to sponsor a special four part series entitled Understanding and Remediating Structural Racism. The series will be led by Ayo Magwood (Uprooting Inequity), a highly-regarded public speaker specializing in evidence-based, politically-neutral, and solution-oriented education on historical and structural racism. Learn how racism evolved in the U.S.; how structural racism persists even after the Civil Rights movement; and how we can work to end it and help build a more racially just society.
Register for the entire series here.
Please keep in mind that the series builds cumulative knowledge. In particular, session 2 is a prerequisite for session 3. If you are unavailable for session 2, please watch the recording before session 3.
Session 3 (June 29). Remediating Structural Racism.
How do we remediate structural racism? How do we foster the cross-racial, cross-ideological solidarity needed to do so? After introducing some guiding principles, I describe some social psychology principles for fostering interracial cooperation. Finally, I describe some specific strategies for 1. designing government policies for remediating structural racism, 2. implementing institutional practices to reduce the impact of biased behavior (vs. thoughts), and 3. reducing individual opportunity hoarding.
