Minimum Credit(s) Awarded: 2
Maximum Credit(s) Awarded: 4

This is the second part of a two-semester seminar. Integrating insights from the first-semester’s exploration of racism and white privilege, the philosophy of Martin Luther King, Jr., and the theologies of Black and Womanist Theologians, this semester focuses on what is being done to dismantle racism in your own field of study (major or minor), area of community involvement (volunteer or athletic organization) or intended career path. Students are required to participate in the annual White Privilege or similar Conference (additional cost for travel and registration) OR a minimum of 20 hours of community-based, anti-racism or healing racism series and multicultural trainings offered in the Madison area. Students prepare formal presentations to report on their own efforts to dismantle racism during the Edgewood Engaged Symposium in April. Each student completes a COR 2 Statement connecting learning beliefs/values and their own stance on racism and building “the beloved community.” Cross-listed ETHS 480I
