Patterns of Conflict Avoidance: from denying + minimizing harm to cancel culture + overstating harm
Apr. 3rd, 2026- People often quote that conflict avoidance is a tenet of white supremacy culture, but what does that look like in practice? And how do we interrupt these patterns without overcorrecting? In this webinar we will go through a map of 4 different flavors of conflict avoidance, from ignoring and enabling harm to jumping to conclusions and scapegoating rather than holding the complexity of a situation.
