The REI Phase One training is thoughtfully crafted to empower participants with a deeper comprehension of racism in its institutional and structural dimensions. Instead of dwelling on individual prejudices and biases, this workshop offers an insightful exploration of racism through its historical, cultural, and structural lenses. Key topics covered encompass our fish/lake/groundwater analysis of structural racism, the grasp and management of implicit bias, the intersection of race, poverty, and geographical location, markedness theory, institutional power dynamics and influencers, the significance of race and racism definitions, the historical legacy of race in American economic and policy evolution, as well as racial identity and its interplay with institutional culture.

By sharing a common language and achieving a clearer perception of how institutions and systems contribute to unjust and inequitable outcomes, participants will depart from this training better equipped to initiate positive change. Join us on this transformative journey towards a more equitable future.
