Dismantling Global Racism:Getting inspired by resilient local communities from around the world

Catalog description

This course examines the nature and impacts of racism with a global approach. Building on the experiences of resilient post-conflict local communities around the world and on the theories and practices of Transitional Justice, we will explore tools and frameworks to innovate and efficiently dismantle racism in organizations, communities, and societies. Adopting a comparative approach, we will study materials and examples of successful antiracist initiatives coming from Africa, the Middle East, Europe, Asia, and the Americas, and mobilize diverse academic fields: political sciences, history, genocide studies, psychology, sociology, literature, and cinema. We will articulate our understanding of racial domination and develop approaches to dismantle it with the other forms of oppression.
