\nWhat is\u00a0ARWAG?<\/strong>\u00a0ARWAG\u00a0(Anti-Racism White Allyship Group) is a democratic collective of members who identify as benefiting\u00a0from white privilege that serves as a supportive and challenging space and resource for students, faculty and staff to\u00a0examine race, racism, white privilege, white fragility and our roles in racial justice. This is done\u00a0in an effort to make classroom and other shared spaces more productive for all.<\/p>\n

What does\u00a0ARWAG\u00a0do?\u00a0<\/strong>ARWAG\u00a0works to be a space for reflection and accountability during the discovery and continued work of examining one\u2019s white privilege. This space is created in attempts to mitigate recreating trauma when folks of color and multi-racial folks are forced to bear witness to that process. This is not a space for people to feel coddled in their white feelings, but instead a space where we strive to move through feelings of discomfort, shame, and hold each other accountable to actively fighting white supremacy.\u00a0We believe \u201cally\u201d is not an identity one can claim but rather behaviors and actions that can be learned and strengthened.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Who can come?\u00a0<\/strong>People of all identities are welcome to attend meetings.\u00a0ARWAG\u00a0acknowledges that an individual\u2019s discovery of their own white privilege has the potential to recreate trauma when folks of color and multi-racial folks are forced to bear witness to that process. Because this group would like to see this happen less and less in the classroom and other shared school spaces\u00a0ARWAG\u00a0discussions often center ways for individuals who hold white privilege to challenge their own privilege and comfort.\u00a0The intention of creating this space is not to reinforce painful histories or modern legacies of colonialism, slavery, segregation and institutional racism, but we acknowledge that it is very much a risk.<\/p>\n

Not sure if this group is for you or not a good time to meet?\u00a0<\/strong>A member of the group is more than happy to meet one-on-one at the School of Social Work or over coffee to talk further about the group or your own journey and how we can be of support. Reply to this email or reach out to one of the leaders to set up a one-on-one meeting.<\/p>\n
