For many of us in the field of diversity/social justice the issue of classism remains confusing. This day-long training will allow diversity professionals to explore the issue of class on a personal level, consider the intersections of class and other aspects of identity, and consider the pedagogical/training concerns that arise in training about classism.
We will look at the macro-economic context in which our training takes place, the concept of class culture and class bias, and consider how incorporating class as an issue into our work has the potential to move our work on race, gender, sexual orientation, ability, etc. along. The training will include experiential activities and opportunities for reflection and consideration of how to apply the learning.
