SUMMARY:WEBINAR - Alliance - Talking with Children about Race
DESCRIPTION:Recent research has shown that children have very complex understandings of differences and how they make meaning of stereotypes.  Far from being color-blind\, most children are aware of how their own skin color is an advantage or disadvantage.  They also judge their peers based on these differences¬—even though many adults believe young children in today’s generation don’t stereotype.  Because of this\, it is important to give children anti-bias messages\, through actions and words that actively counter what they are internalizing and witnessing in the world. \nIn this workshop we will explore how children and youth learn and practice racism and privilege.  Participants will learn strategies to for acting on teachable moments and ways to create counter narratives. \nThis training is presented by Dr. Caprice Hollins and/or Ilsa Govan\, M.A.\, co-founders of Cultures Connecting\, LLC.  \nDr. Hollins received her doctorate in clinical psychology with an emphasis in multicultural and community psychology in 1998.   She has over 14 years of experience teaching graduate courses\, working with historically marginalized populations\, researching\, studying\, and facilitating race related conversations.

She also currently works as a part-time core faculty in the department of counseling at The Seattle School of Theology & Psychology. \nIlsa Govan\, M.A. has more than fifteen years of experience as a classroom teacher and anti-racist community activist. She began her work for social and environmental justice in high school with her involvement in advocating for Native American rights.
