Anatomy of Prejudice9:00 am - 4:15 pm
|
Summary: This workshop will focus on the work and learnings that began over 50 years ago in a 3rd grade classroom in Riceville, Iowa. The Peabody Award-winning film, "The Eye of the Storm," introduces and discusses that groundbreaking exercise - and the program further explores with the audience the problems of racism, sexism, ageism, homophobia, and ethnocentrism - and the responsibility shared by all of us for illuminating them in and eliminating them from ourselves and our environment. Those attending the presentation will be encouraged to discuss the issues raised as they relate to their own workplace. They will also be encouraged to discuss the materials presented on the handouts which are designed to help them to identify their own racist statements, behaviors, and attitudes. Participants will receive a list of suggested activities which, if implemented, can help them to decrease the amount of racism in their environment and a list of books which, if read, can provide added insights to the problems of the -isms with which we are all confronted.
