Self-Guided Learning

The Office of Equity, Diversity, Inclusion & Anti-Racism is excited to launch an e-learning course called Confronting Anti-Black Racism. This course is based on Dr. Christopher Taylor’s Arts 130 course that ran in Fall 2020. Thanks to Dr. Taylor’s generosity, this course is now available to all Waterloo students, faculty, and staff, and provides an opportunity for (un)learning and gaining tools to better take anti-racist action in our own lives - at work, home, and in our communities.
