This 2 part workshop is an extension of The Cycle of Socialization by Bobbie Harro. In the first workshop, participants will be encouraged to intentionally pause and reflect on several aspects of their own socialization surrounding a social identity they hold. Thought-provoking questions and small group discussions will be offered to help participants continue to excavate their own understanding of themselves. The second workshop is a continuation of the first as participants will follow the same format and reflect on The Cycle of Liberation. Participants will be prompted to imagine themselves as subjects with the agency to better themselves and the world around them.
Formed in 2019, the Anti-Racist Working Group is a community of accountability that interrogates how systemic racial oppression is institutionalized and internalized. The group is composed of students from the Department of Dance who seek to: first, examine their own role as institutional gatekeepers within an educational system that has historically subjugated marginalized populations; second, confront how structural racism shapes dance history, curricula, and pedagogy; and, third, cultivate conscious-raising spaces that build resilience through self- and collective-care. We bring embodied practices and lived experience into conversation with anti-racist thought and action to imagine new models for institutional change-making that challenge White patriarchal hegemony. The Anti-Racist Working Group operates through joint governance and programs based on the community’s needs.
