📌Recognise the problem - racism is the fundamental cause of inequity
📌Understand how racism shapes our lives
📌Overcoming racism is a call to action not an impossible target
📌Lack of policy
📌Stigma
Types of #racism
📌Structural racism
📌Interpersonal racism - everyday verbal/physical abuse which are ALL forms of violence
📌Institutional racism - from orgs which shape our access to resources & amplify inequality
📌 Definitions & conceptual frameworks vary across disciplines
📌 Culture is socially constructed, linked to identities & evolves over place
& time
📌 Culture is DYNAMIC & entrenched in social and historical contexts
