Power, Privilege and Oppression
In this course participants are invited to gain a deeper understanding of the concepts of systemic oppression in the global community. Topics will include privilege, micro-aggressions, unconscious biases, prejudice and intersectionality. We will also explore how these patterns and systems play out on an interpersonal level within our own community. Participants will walk away with tools to help them best understand how they contribute to and therefore can work towards building a society centred on equality for all people.
This course will explore key themes and language related to diversity, equity, inclusion, justice, and belonging. Through self-reflection, small group exercises, and shared exploration in the larger group, participants will develop a deeper understanding of how our social identities intersect with and generate power, privilege, and bias, and leave with a toolkit to support building relationships with people from backgrounds and experiences different from their own.
