Results that speak for themselves

Dr. Rodney Bates workshop, Unlearning Racism, provided both foundational material for participants and an opportunity for deep understanding of issues of racism.  His ability to connect with participants by sharing personal stories and experiences, while also presenting research findings to support the main points he presented throughout the workshop, is a testament to his profound abilities as a teacher. I would recommend any workshop by Dr. Bates focused on unlearning racism to organizations and groups interested in improving issues of diversity, equity, and inclusion and engaging in the justice work required to dismantle systems of oppression.
