Learning about theories of Whiteness and anti-oppressive education is challenging but rewarding work, as it entirely alters one’s perspective of one’s self, one’s students, and the classroom. This gathering aims to bring about a self-awareness, through the exploration of these theories, that will set the groundwork for “Anti-oppressive Practice,” and will begin to prepare participants for an open-mindedness in their personal and professional lives.
