EQUITY Fellowship Event: What is racial inequity?

What is racial inequity? This event with Racial Equity Institute trainers (including Bayard Love, MPP'13) leverages quantitative analysis and history to explain a framework for understanding and explaining persistent racial inequity in the US. The event gives participants a chance to open a discussion about structural racism and will provide more information about the EQUITY Fellowship, and is open to all. Light snacks will be offered.

The EQUITY Fellowship is a new initiative organized by Bridging Communities and the Sanford Committee on Diversity and Inclusion. The EQUITY Fellowship will 1) inform and train future policymakers and their mentors on the historical and institutional origins of racism, and 2) empower Fellows to create a more diverse, inclusive, and equal Sanford School. Forty Fellows will participate in a free, two-day workshop (Friday-Saturday, March 25-26, 2016) with trainers from the Racial Equity Institute (REI) to receive a foundational training in historical and institutional racism. Fellows will also attend ongoing conversations, speaker events, and initiatives from the Sanford Committee on Diversity and Inclusion, to turn their new understanding of race and power into actions that will change and benefit the Sanford School. All students, staff, and faculty at Sanford are invited to apply. Other Duke affiliates may apply, but Sanford affiliates will be prioritized. Deadline: Mon. 3/7, 5 pm. Apply at tinyurl.com/EF2016
