UNDO BIAS Workshop Resources

 

The fourth Undo Bias Anti-Racism Workshop will be held on Friday, March 28, 2025, from 8 a.m. to noon (CST) in the O’Shea Conference Room. It will be live-streamed and recorded.

This private, unlisted page houses resources for the upcoming Undo Bias workshop. Click on the maroon buttons below to view each resource. Dyads are both in the body of this page and available for download within each section.

Dyad:

** We would like you to not only read the blog post but read the comment section as well.**

Following reading both the post and the comments, we ask that the Sisters have a dyad with a partner on their thoughts and feelings that came up reading this exchange. We want to remind those who attended our previous workshop about the behaviors many of us engage in to distance ourselves from racism.

 

You may want to focus on how you are not like the negative commenters or feel angry or frustrated with the critical feedback. We would like you to, instead, reach deeper and see yourselves in the attitudes and resistance of the members of SVDP.

• When have you resisted change?
• When have you felt like an effort for internal change of the community was going too far?

 

After taking time to reflect and identify with those commenters, we would also like you to notice that while a lot of people made positive comments, nobody directly refuted the negative comments.

• When have you felt afraid to contradict a perspective rooted in domination or oppression?

Dyad:

Often, when we think about how we show up in the world, we want to make sure we are being non-racist, but it is important to think about how to actively counter racism and work to create a world without racism–to hold out a vision of the world without racism and actively move ourselves and our communities in that direction.

• Discuss with a partner what thoughts and feelings arose when you watched both of these pieces.
