In early December 2021, Humber officially launched a group for employees who identify as white and/or as having white skin privilege to examine how they have been conditioned by their whiteness and how it shows up in their thoughts, feelings, and experiences, and within their institutions (home, work, educational, religious, etc.). The Unlearning Circle focuses on unpacking and dismantling white supremacy culture and unlearning it.

Interested in joining the circle or have questions about it? For more information email theunlearningcircle@humber.ca or visit our webpage to learn more and access past meeting materials.

Next session: The Circle will hold its eleventh session virtually on Wednesday, August 9 from 12:05 p.m. to 1:25 p.m.
