Structural Oppression in Higher Ed - Webinar: multiple dates
This course is in two parts. You must attend both to receive credit for the course.Webinars on December 8, 2020 from 10:00am - 11:30am AND February 19, 2021 from 12:00pm - 1:30pm.When most people think about oppression, they think about the concept of individual prejudices and biases or reference highly publicized hate groups--rarely viewing themselves as potential contributors to oppression. Most people don't view such things as antisemitism, racism, misogyny, and homophobia as embedded in our federal, state, and local policies that privilege one caste of people and burdens others--as oppression. In these times of racial and political unrest, we must define structural oppression, demystify its multiple forms, and employ strategies to usurp structures of oppression in our organization and replace them with equitable systems. Participants will be able to:• Define structural oppression,• Recognize multiple forms of structural oppression,• Identify at least 3 strategies for combating structural oppression at MCCCD.
