Dear White People: We Must Do Better
An interactive, discussion-based, reflective workshop where individuals who hold racial privilege can explore myths and barriers to development of a more anti-racist paradigm, converting this to taking action. NOTE: This workshop can be altered to focus on any privileged identity I hold (race, gender, social class).

Foundations of Social Justice: Oppression, Power, and Privilege
This workshop asks participants to reflect on their own identities in relation to power and access, helping to come to understand that holding multiple identities may present us with opportunities to connect and understand others’ lived experiences.

This interactive workshop helps participants examine social constructions of today’s masculinity and the outcomes that conformity to these norms can produce.

Preventing Sexual and Relationship Violence: It Starts With Us
Designed as a lecture, this presentation examines masculine gender norms as foundations for sexual and relationship violence and helps men to take positive steps to alter their environments and take an active role in addressing this issue. This lecture is intended for men but can be adapted for mixed populations.

Living and Surviving in Archie Bunker’s Neighborhood
This experiential workshop encourages participants to create the “ideal community;” however, they must work within the system to do so, a system modeled after structural inequality. After the simulated activity, small group and large group debriefing helps connect basic social justice concepts. This program works best with groups over 25.
