LISA GRAUSTEIN
"Working Through Privilege: A Process for Moving Forward"

Lisa Graustein has lived in Dorchester for most of her adult life and
teaches at Codman Academy Charter School in Codman Square. She serves as a
trainer for the Beyond Diversity 101 program. She recently completed a
self-designed Masters in Education on racial justice education, with a focus
on supporting white people in becoming more aware of their racial identity
and more effective at interrupting racism. Lisa's graduate research focused
on using theories of racial identity development and transformational
learning to develop a process of white people to understand our racial
identity and learn new ways of being that allow to become more effective in
interrupting racism and working for racial healing. This presentation will
be an overview of this learning process and some thoughts about how it can
be used to address other forms of systemic privilege.
