Social Justice and Diversity ResourcesSocial Justice Training Institute (December and June) http://www.sjti.org/

The Social Justice Training Institute provides a forum for the professional and

personal development of social justice educators and practitioners to enhance and

refine their skills and competencies to create greater inclusion for all members of the

campus community. SJTI is designed to deepen understanding of the dynamics of

oppression at the individual, group, cultural, and systems levels through the lens of

race and racism. During the first few days, participants enhance their ability to

engage in authentic dialogue about the dynamics of race and racism both across and

within racial groups. Through community activities, race caucus work, core group

discussions, and exploring the impact of in-the-moment situations that occur during

the Institute, participants expand their competencies as social justice educators and

change agents. During the final two days of SJTI, the focus is to apply the learning

from this experience to other areas of oppression.
