Free Anti-Racism Courses

Dr. Christmas designed these self-paced, asynchronous courses aim to provide free arts-centered education and resources to promote a more just arts ecosystem. Both courses are free and open to the public, but they are designed for early career professionals or those without extensive anti-racist training. Anyone can take both courses at no cost through OSU Scarlet Canvas.

“Anti-Racism in the Arts: the Basics”

Survey course that provides foundational knowledge to begin dismantling racism across the arts.

“Anti-Racism & Social Justice in Dance”

Survey course designed for dancers, audience members, and administrators to build anti-racist thought and action within the dance community.
