Workshop “Decolonize us! – Introduction to anti-bias and anti-racism work”

With the rise of the #BlackLivesMatter movement, a long-needed public discussion of racism has finally taken place in white people’s spaces. But after a short hype of showing solidarity, each individual’s commitment to “doing the work” has slowly fallen into oblivion. With our workshop series, we would like to give you the opportunity to start your anti-bias- and anti-racism work on a personal level. We invite you to deconstruct colonialities in the society, at the university, and in our minds.

Thursday, Nov 5, 2.00 to 5.30 pm
