Engaging Antiracism: Strategies for Collective Resistance among Black, Indigenous and Other Faculty and Staff of Color
Presenter: Dr. Alex Pieterse, PhD
This Webinar will examine the phenomenon of racism within Academia and will consider strategies for resistance, coping and healing. The experience of Black, Indigenous and other People of Color will be highlighted, through a review of the empirical research plus drawing on material from the SPOKENproject. The benefits of critical consciousness raising, building anti-racism alliances, and reforming protocols associated with promotion and tenure will be discussed. Finally, participants will engage in a process designed to establish ongoing working groups with the aim of documenting experiences and producing scholarship outlining anti-racist strategies and initiatives for Academia.

Addressing Whiteness in Counselor Education
Addressing Whiteness in Counselor Education
Presenters: Scott Schaefle PhD, NCC, LMHC, LMFT & Krista Malott PhD, LPC
Ways in which Whiteness is embedded in counselor education can get in the way of anti-racist and inclusion efforts. Faculty and students may lack understanding of ways in which their own whiteness and embedded whiteness in the program can operate. Addressing Whiteness in Counselor Education continues to be a controversial and difficult task, particularly given the backlash efforts across the nation at silencing antiracism and decolonizing efforts. In this webinar, we will use discussion and the sharing of specific lived experiences and educational practices to illustrate tactics in naming and critically interrogating Whiteness. Examination of structures, colleague supports (or lack thereof), and classroom hot moments will be included. Such work will be presented with a culturally humble lens, in recognizing the many intersectional complexities, and learned white supremacy, that impacts us all.
