These low cost online trainings are available until August 31.

This series intentionally integrates what is often left out of general racial justice education: Asian American experiences and decolonial values.  All are welcome. We offer these trainings in order to equip you with histories and critical frameworks that can deepen the work of antiracism in your lives and in your communities.

History of Asian American Identity  Part 1

This session explores the origin and history of “Asian American” identity, both as a racial construct and as a political movement, as well as the origin of the model minority myth and its function within white supremacy.

“Modernity” and Institutional Racism  Part 2

Ever consider how ideas of “modernity”/“modern”/“modernization” have structured our contemporary world into racist institutions? This session takes a deep dive into understanding systemic racism, with a focus on institutional racism as the historical engine for global “modernity” (the quotation marks are intentional) and vice versa.

Coloniality, Anti-Blackness, and White Supremacy  Part 3

This session unpacks the connections between global histories of settler colonialism, militarization, and capitalism, with anti-Blackness and white supremacy.
