Exposing White Supremacy in Institutional Culture
Write your awesome label here.
Module Description
This is a module designed to provide you with the lens to recognize what white supremacy culture is, then see how the unexamined procedures, policies and practices we utilize on a daily basis work to mutually reinforce it.

Conocimiento 4 is the first step in disrupting institutional racism in our institutions, by heightening our awareness about the conditions of white supremacy culture that were constructed within the very first days of higher education, and continue to operate as a major barrier to Latinx student success (Garcia, 2019, Yosso et al. 2009, Sue, 2004).
