ECU101: "Embodying Racial Justice: Trauma-informed Equity and Inclusion Work for your Classroom, Institution and Life"

Zoom workshops hosted by Anita Chari and Angelica Singh

Tuesdays, March 12th + March 19th, 11:30AM to 12:30PM
Please email Ece Arslan to register for the Zoom room.

This series of trainings will support attendees to participate in equity and inclusion work based on trauma-informed pedagogies, embodied nervous system practices, and paradigms of embodied social justice.

Racism and colonization are not limited to individual attitudes, biases and prejudices. They are structurally anchored in the forms of denial, disembodiment, and historical erasure that permeate most of our institutions--educational, socio-political, and economic. Our bodies are a crucial site for working with this disease of forgetting that we see in our society, because the body is where we hold racialized trauma, both individually and collectively. Embodied practices are key to cultivating anti-racist and anti-oppressive environments and will support participants to work with dynamics of historical and contemporary intersectional oppression at a personal and professional level.

This training empowers participants with a trauma-informed approach to equity and inclusion as it applies to decolonizing the classroom space in your work as educators and scholars, as well as in the realm of embodied leadership within institutions.

Anita Chari and Angelica Singh are co-Founders of Embodying Your Curriculum, an organization that teaches embodied and trauma-informed practices to educators, leaders, health care workers, and social justice organizations.
