This foundational workshop introduces participants to the fundamentals of anti-racism/anti-oppression through the lens of intersectionality.

This foundational workshop introduces participants to the power dynamics of racial and colonial oppression situated within a Canadian and global context. Learners of all walks discover the language of social justice, and explore models to create more equitable communities. Individual activities, group exercises, and discussions allow us to examine decolonizing, intersectionality, positionality, privilege and oppression in Canadian cultural, political and historical contexts. The session will also provide context and examples of racism and anti-racist interventions within our communities and institutions. Institutional and social dynamics are explored as learners navigate opportunities for intervening in interpersonal harm and institutional oppression. Participants explore internalized, interpersonal and institutional racism. The frameworks, attitudes and values of anti-racism are central to the workshop. Participants are encouraged to continue their learning journey beyond the scope of the session with provided digital and print resources.This workshop has no prerequisite.ASL interpreters will be present, as will a note taker!
