Building an Anti-Racist GSE
Recognizing a lack of anti-racist methodological training at the GSE as well as the absence of an introduction to anti-racist literature, this group of students formed to explore anti-racist pedagogies and methodologies, review field-relevant literature on anti-racist theories, and actively work at promoting anti-racist practices within the GSE.
