What is the Advanced Beyond Series?

The Advanced Beyond Series is open to Advanced Series alumni only. The conversation around race often comes down to people talking about their direct personal experiences. This series connects personal experiences with the institutional racism that is affecting attitudes.

The format of each session

During each session, the facilitators set an environment for open, honest, brave conversation. The format of the discussion is around three topic questions with 10-minute breaks during each session:

  • Topic Question 1 looks at the information in each article/video and asks what stood out to you the most?

  • Topic Question 2 asks you where you recognize, have experienced, and/or observed instances of racism related to the specific session’s topic that we are on that day.

  • Topic Question 3 focuses on what you would like to see done or changed, and what you can see yourself doing.
