HD 384/584 - The Power of Our Stories: Exploring Issues of Race And Identity

Institution:

Pacific Oaks College

Subject:

Description:

Much of our identity is formed within the context of race. By examining issues of race, we gain a better understanding of its impact upon our identity development. Opening the doors to race and our identities enables us to better understand and fulfill our role as social justice advocates for children and families within a participatory democracy. This class will explore issues of race and its complex role within identity development. It will take an indepth look at critical race and racialization theories and the application of these theories to individual and group racial identity development within a global society. Through personal stories and narrative literature, we will unpackage how race impacts our identity. We will also explore the affect that unpackaging race has upon our perception of ourselves and the world around us. Through the sharing of our stories, we will begin to develop personal transformative strategies to more effectively support our work with children and families.
