- Introductory
Associated Schools

Harvard Graduate School of Education

Delve into the history of racism and inequality in higher education and examine the methods necessary to integrate diversity and inclusion endeavors into programs and institutions
Develop a deeper understanding of anti-racism and its manifestation within higher education systems, policies, practices, and attitudes
Discuss and clarify the various components of a practical and sustainable practice of anti-racism in higher education that can be distributed and re-enforced by leadership
Explore a range of individual and institutional interventions to address racism, as well as learn skills to intentionally engage with a community of support through meaningful dialogue
Work on anti-racism is an ongoing process that should not rest on the shoulders of BIPOC (black, Indigenous and people of color) higher education leaders. Bravely Confronting Racism in Higher Education is a new program that will enable participants to effectively confront issues of inequality and racism within higher education from various perspectives. By the end of the program, participants will have a community of support, a greater sense of empathy, and sustainable practice components for themselves, their units, and to bring back to their community.
