A white caucus also puts the onus on white people to teach each other about these ideas, rather than placing a burden on people of color to teach them. For white people, a caucus provides time and space to work explicitly and intentionally on understanding white culture and white privilege and to increase one’s critical analysis around these concepts. Caucuses provide spaces for people to work within their own racial/ethnic groups. To advance racial equity, there is work for white people and people of color to do separately and together. Caucuses based on racial identity are often comprised, respectively, of people of color, white people, people who hold multiracial identities, or people who share specific racial or ethnic identities. The goal for this affinity group is to commune with, share ideas, passions, and simply support and validate one another with our existence and survival here at CSUMB.įor more information contact: Dr.A caucus is an intentionally created space for those who share an identity to convene for learning, support, and connections.
