Course Description and Learning Objectives
Dismantling Privilege 2.0: Examining Systemic Racism in U.S. Treatment of Non-White Youth provides a historical examination of the treatment of youth of color in America from slavery to present.
This is an eight (8) week course on racism in the treatment and responses to black and brown youth in the United States from slavery to present. Dismantling Privilege (DP) is a self-directed adult learning experience, aimed at white and white passing persons, that optimizes transformational learning through group discussion.
The three learning objectives for participants of this course are:
1) Develop an educated understanding of the policy, economic and governmental actions that created and maintain systems of racism in youth responses;
2) Recognize the way that those actions disproportionately fail to help and can cause harm to black and brown youth; and
3) Learn what steps are necessary to create accessible and equitable youth service systems.
This course involves approximately 45-90 minutes of weekly independent study consisting of videos and print materials. Participants then meet virtually for an hour of group discussion.
