About the introductory course
This course goes beyond traditional understandings of grief as past or present concrete loss by discussing grief in the form of fear of future loss.
It's the fear of losing what we hold dear—such as loved ones, cherished places, or even aspects of ourselves—that shapes our present emotions and actions.
Healing White grief: an anti-racist allyship program examines the societal implications of widespread unexplored fear of loss, and how it is the foundation of systemic oppression.
