Introduction
This module will help you learn more about yourself and navigate your place within a community. Three central themes that must be considered while working with community partners will be elaborated on throughout this module:
- Understanding Self
- Understanding Groups
- Relationships with Community
This module is grounded in the race and identity work of Beverly Tatum and Peggy Macintosh on white privilege, Allan Johnson's examination of social inequality, and the New York State Department of Health's cultural competency trainer manual.
In this column, throughout this module, you will be introduced to various examples that will help you understand the concepts and some reflection questions. Please take the time to reflect on the answers to these questions.
