What: In the three-hour Groundwater Approach session, trainers use data and stories from a variety of sources to demonstrate the ongoing and pervasive impact of race. This research-based presentation focuses on the following six points that are essential to understanding the realities of systemic racism as a predictor of outcomes in all institutions.
- Racial inequity looks the same across systems.
- Socio-economic difference does not explain the racial inequity.
- Systems contribute significantly to disparities.
- The systems-level disparities cannot be explained by a few ‘bad apples’ or ill-intentioned gatekeepers.
- Poor outcomes are concentrated in certain geographic communities; usually poor communities and communities of color.
- An analysis that includes race often draws starkly different conclusions than one that does not.
Cost: Free.
