Allyship: Understanding Self and Moving Beyond the Performative “‘Allyship’ is defined as a “supportive association with another person or group, specifically, an association with the members of a marginalized or mistreated group to which one does not belong”. In this interactive session, learn about the history of the term, examples of allyship throughout the decades, and about how recent distinctions between being an ally and a ‘co-conspirator’ have pushed the thinking of those empowered to achieve a more just, inclusive, and anti-racist society.

Learning Objectives:

• Participants will be able to Explain and distinguish the difference between the terms allyship, accomplice, and co-conspirator in a racial justice context

• Participants will be able to learn about the history of the terms allies, accomplices, and co-conspirators through concrete examples

• Participants will be able to reflect on one's image of self and on how to best move beyond 'allyship' in words, decisions, and actions
