Doing the Work: An Introduction to Anti-Racism

Main Content

We are pleased to launch our new e-course, "Doing the Work: An Introduction to Anti-Racism." The course is uniquely GBC — it is different than previous anti-racism learning opportunities as it was made by us for us. 

Our entire college community is encouraged to take the time to complete the course. For employees, the training will be assigned, and students can access it on Brightspace. Through this course, we hope to make space for ongoing discussion, enable good faith questions, and engage in conversations about the content. 

All members of the College community are strongly encouraged to complete this course.   

All students and employees will be automatically enrolled in “Doing the Work: An Introduction to Anti-Racism” on Brightspace. Staff and faculty can access the course online through Cornerstone.

Why did we develop this e-course?

Anti-Racism learning and development are forms of institutional practices that support the integration of race-conscious principles and values of Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion. Cultivating these values throughout the GBC community is necessary if we are to address racial and social inequities and ensure that all members of our community are meaningfully included and can succeed without barriers related to the ways in which they have been racialized. 

The Anti-Racism e-course is the next step in our learning journey and provides another vehicle to enable more race-conscious (traditional and non-traditional) dialogue and self-reflection within and among teams. 

Tell me more!

This is a self-directed 90+ minute, 3-module course that provides you with an introduction to the ideas, language, concepts, and discourses related to race, racism, and anti-racism. 

The course is uniquely GBC - this is different than previous anti-racism learning opportunities as it was made by us for us. Therefore, all members of the college community, from employees to students, are encouraged to complete the course. 

Employees can access the course through Cornerstone and students can login via Brightspace.
