Greetings, All!
The Anti-Oppressive Advocacy® online course is now welcoming our third cohort of learners! The Anti-Oppressive Advocacy® framework is a structure that demands the adoption of critique within institutional and external oppression impacting historically-minoritized people and communities.
This six-month course, beginning May 19th, will support anti-violence professionals and those in intersecting helping fields to interrogate their personal and professional relationships with anti-Blackness and White Supremacy. Members will learn about:
- the history of Whiteness as a racial identity marker, ideology, and strategy;
- anti-Blackness as an international compact and vehicle that sustains oppression;
- how the role and history of anti-Blackness served as a backdrop for inequitable care for Black survivors of violence;
- how oppressive advocacy strategies find a home in person-centered service structures and the ways they have actively contributed and/or been complicit in aligning with inequitable service provision;
- strategies to transform service provision from non-racist to anti-oppressive.
Those interested in learning more about the course can learn more here or by contacting Wanda Swan at .
