Abstract
This paper discusses the role of antiracist praxis in teaching and learning , concentrating on the experience and reflections of the participants of th e course "Racism and Intellectuals." Participants of this class decided to write this article as a way to convey alternative methods of establishing a ntiracist praxis. These involved creating and maintaining a community among students and faculty members, and developing collaborations with antiracis t student organizations to extend beyond the walls of the campus, and to pa rticipate in a collective educational effort for antiracism.
