Workshop Via Zoom

ISPE Boston’s Ethnocultural Diversity, Equity & Inclusion Committee invites you to our Webinar: Do the Work; Becoming an Accomplice. Understanding your privilege and identifying as an ally are a start, yet not enough. We have to do the work. This workshop covers the next steps in anti-racist work, past allyship into becoming an accomplice. We will examine the differences between these two concepts, learn to recognize performative allyship, share insight about what it means, and how to start the necessary work of becoming an accomplice. Segments of this virtual, interactive workshop will use breakout groups to enhance discussion and build community. The EDEI Committee has partnered with Change Cadet to provide this education to the ISPE Boston Area Chapter.
