Why take this course?
Racial harmony is complex, involving dynamics that extend far beyond individual acts or single incidents. In Six Hindrances to Racial Harmony, we invite you to explore the collective habits of harm—patterns deeply rooted in systemic patterns of racial dominance and subordination.
We must go beyond individual biases and preferences and examine the power of racial group prejudice. It’s this interplay between prejudice and power that enables one group to subordinate another. This course offers a vital lens to better understand how these dynamics work collectively, and how, as individuals, we contribute to or interrupt them.
In this course, we’ll uncover six common hindrances to racial harmony. While not exhaustive, this list serves as a powerful starting point for recognizing patterns that often go unnoticed but can preserve and prolong systemic racial harm. By shining a light on these ingrained habits, we can begin to interrupt our mental programming and recognize our roles in the dance of dominance and subordination.
Rather than focusing on eliminating racial distress, this course aims to deepen our understanding of the underlying structures that sustain racism, internally and socially. Through this awareness, we create the space to reshape our roles—not just as individuals, but as members of larger racial groups with shared responsibilities.
Scholarship discounts are available to make this work accessible to all who are interested in this deep exploration. If you’re ready to look honestly at the dynamics that shape our world and your own role in it, this course will offer you guidance and insight for making transformative shifts.
