Description
Welcome to "Intersectionality, Privilege and Subjugation," a transformative course designed to deepen your understanding of the complex interplay between identity, power, and privilege. Through this course, you will learn about intersectionality as a vital framework for analyzing and dismantling systems of oppression. We will explore the roles and responsibilities of both the privileged and the subjugated in promoting social justice and equity.
This course is structured around four engaging modules:
Understanding Intersectionality: Delve into the concept of intersectionality and its importance in the pursuit of social justice, as introduced by Kimberlé Crenshaw.
Unpacking Identity in Intersectionality: Reflect on the impact of identity on experiences of privilege and marginalization, and learn to analyze the interconnectedness of race, gender, class, and other social categories.
Dr. Kenneth Harding's "The Tasks of the Privileged and Subjugated": Examine the roles of the privileged and subjugated in dismantling systems of oppression and promoting intersectional equity.
Strategies for Dismantling Oppression: Identify oppressive structures, policies, and practices, and develop an action plan for creating intersectional change through collective action and coalition-building.
By participating in this course, you will not only expand your knowledge but also challenge your assumptions and biases. The combination of theoretical discussions, practical exercises, and self-reflection will provide you with the tools and insights needed to make a meaningful impact in the struggle for social justice.
I invite you to embark on this journey with me, as we work together to create a more just, equitable, and inclusive world.
