Without a shared framework to understand U.S. history and dynamics of power and privilege, institutional and individual hopes and initiatives for a more equitable world can be illusive. Good intentions can yield surprisingly lackluster results if we don't have a grasp of the cultural context in which we are operating.

What are the unwritten rules of success in U.S. culture? Who determines them? Monitors them? Challenges them? Without making visible the unwritten rules of race, class, gender, religion and other differences, patterns of power and privilege, we can — despite our best intentions --unknowingly reproduce them. Join us for a day of transformational learning about how cultural assumptions, communication styles, implicit bias, micro aggressions, and engrained social habits influence our daily experiences and shape our community cultures. Participants will leave with tools to better understand their personal and professional environments as well as to be effective equity change agents.
