Racism and the Myth of Colorblindness [Hamden, CT]

This is a courageous workshop to attend.  In a safe and respectful manner, we will have a conversation evaded by many well-meaning individuals: the meaning and impact of race, skin color and racism in both our society at large and within the workplace.  The workshop is designed to teach communication and educational tools by practicing them with one another, thus reinforcing new information and creating an opportunity for a cultural transformation that can have a ripple effect in our own social and professional circles.  About the Presenter Mara Gottlieb, Ph.D., LMSW is an adjunct faculty member at the New York University Silver School of Social Work, teaching at both graduate and undergraduate levels. Dr. Gottlieb is also the founder and CEO of Talking Changes, a training and bias-awareness organization that seeks to create safe learning environments in which maximum knowledge, self-awareness, and insight can be cultivated.
