  • 2/20 White Fragility - Book Discussion Series

    Join us for a 4-part discussion series on Robin DiAngelo’s White Fragility.  This New York Times best-selling book explores the counterproductive reactions white people have when their assumptions about race are challenged, and how these reactions maintain racial inequality.  Participants will discuss the ideas presented in the book, reflect on how white people can build capacity on race, and begin to develop skills engage more constructively in the on-going work towards racial justice.

    Meetings will be the Women’s Center from noon to 1pm on the following Thursdays - 2/20, 3/5, 3/26 and 4/9

    Free copies of the book will be available for the first 20 registrants for this 4 part series.  Registration can be found at: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/WhiteFragilitySeries

    Co-sponsored with the UConn Foundation.
