VLUS Triad White Caregivers Working Toward Anti-Racism


Hello G&P, Haggerty, Tobin, and VLUS Families,

Please join a monthly affinity group for VLUS Triad White Caregivers Working Toward Anti-Racism. The affinity group will read and discuss various texts throughout the year in order to address our own unconscious biases and to take an active role in fighting white supremacy in our schools, communities, and ourselves. There will be reading to complete before each session, and families are strongly encouraged to make a commitment to attend as many sessions as possible. 

VLUS Triad White Caregivers Working Toward Anti-Racism
Date: Thursday, May 5, 2022, 6:45-8PM

Topic: How can we begin to transform biased, white supremacist standards of professionalism?
Reading (Read BEFORE the session): The Bias of Professional Standards
