Targeting the Majority in Diversity Education

1. Disclaimer As part of my commitment to diversity education and social justice I strive to make my workshop materials freely available. I hope they are put to good use in continuing the pursuit of justice. However, please remember, the true substance of these workshops is not found in these documents, it is found within the workshop experience. If you view these documents without having seen how I use them, a faulty assumption may be made regarding my viewpoint. Therefore, I simply ask that if you have any questions at all, please contact me. I’d be happy to share my viewpoint.
