About This Course
On a daily basis, sometimes people just want to have conversations because they have questions…about race. It is a nebulous space and causes anxiety. It is just plain uncomfortable. However, I believe that as people, we need to be more adult oriented and even conflict amenable in conversations on race. If we don’t talk about it we won’t find solutions.
Upon successful completion of course content 80% or greater a certificate will be awarded.
- JUS offers a course evaluation at the end of the course.
- Completing the evaluation helps JUS to improve the courses.
