Diversity Training Project
This assignment, you will write a 3-4 page proposal (750-1000 words) for a new diversity training program for your real or hypothetical public or non-profit organization.
The training program should incorporate some form of required reading/media for participants such as a book or podcast. Some options include How to Be an Antiracist by Ibram X. Kendi, So You Want to Talk About Race by Ijeoma Oluo, The 1619 Project by the New York Times and White Fragility by Robin DiAngelo.
Here is a list of some other options: Media for issues of diversity, oppression, and privilege.
Choose a text or podcast that deals with issues of diversity that is not included on this list, but it must be approved by the instructor.
Your goal is to convince the organization to adopt your training program, so be sure to select media that you can advocate for as an essential tool in diversity training for your organization.
