Dr. Moore Jr., recently marked WPC’s 17th successful year. Dr. Moore Jr., is a prolific author, who has supported up and coming researchers and community activists in the field of antiracism. He has published books used in university courses that examine race and the need to redress systemic racial discrimination through an understanding of how whiteness and white supremacy operates in taken for granted social relations that undermine people of colour/ youth (in particular) and their future potential in becoming contributors to society. His latest book is entitled, Everyday White People Confront Racial and Social Injustice: 15 Stories. Edited by Eddie Moore Jr., Marguerite W. Penick-Parks, Ali Michael Foreword by Paul C. Gorski.

Unfortunately racism — implicit and explicit, intentional and unintentional — is present on every campus and in every community. The WPSC is a landmark event, the first of its kind in Canada, and has been organized by the Brock’s Racial Climate Task Force. Our mandate as a Task Force is to bring together students, staff and faculty to examine and consider the dynamics of race within the Brock University context, and to initiative activity that will improve the racial climate at Brock University. This symposium allows us to work toward this mandate while also inviting the larger community to engage in this important topic with us. In keeping with the White Privilege Conference (WPC) in the United States, the White Privilege Symposium - Canada focuses on issues of systemic inequity and oppression through empowering, challenging and educational programming. We are excited about theme of White Privilege Symposium - Canada: “Academics & Activists: Advocating for Equity, Justice and Action.” The conference is unique in its ability to bring together high school and college students, teachers, university faculty and higher education professionals, non-profit staff, activists, social workers and counselors, healthcare workers, members of the spiritual community and corporate arena, among many others.
