Interactive break: Independent-study cards/puzzles, a digital knowledge quiz, and a brief Q&A session.

We will also introduce available resources and support services.

The workshops are open to JKU students, faculty members, and employees, as well as others who are interested. The workshops have been designed for those who have some background and understanding of racism as well as those who are less familiar with the topic.
