STUDENTS OF WHITE STUDIES CLASS OFFER OPEN FORUM DISCUSSION ON WHITE PRIVILEGE

Please join the students of the White Studies class at Portland State University for a fishbowl discussion on white privilege. The discussion will focus on Color-Blind Racism and other topics in an effort to clarify institutional racism and explore how to create a dialogue about white privilege during these Post-Civil Rights times. Students have developed a set of key questions for the inner fishbowl participants to address. After an initial dialogue, which will take place between the inner fishbowl circle, attendees will have an opportunity to join in the discussion and to ask further questions and points.
Join us for an open, safe discussion about white privilege and how to move forward as an ally to people of color with greater understanding about white privilege and racism and in the United States.
