Systemic Oppression and Fragility
WEBINAR by GILL EMSLIE
Awareness of our own internalised oppression and unconscious biases as facilitators is central to facilitating from a deeply democratic perspective, with the metakills, and a deep sense of the systemic nature of systemic discrimination.
Open to members
Topics covered
The goal ofthese class is to deepen our understanding of the dynamics and facilitation of structural discrimination, rather than an exploration of every important issue in terms of structural discrimination. These classes will focus primarily on racism, sexism, homophobia or gender non- binary discrimination, and the discrimination and prejudice between the different regions of Italy. There are several important “issues “ such as classism, islamaphobia, able bodiedness, neuro-diversity, etc that have not been explicitly included this time, but are equally important and may be central for some participants. These classes will be a combination of presentations, and case study analysis in relationship to these themes.
As preparation for this class, please read Sitting in the Fire, by Arnold Mindell, Chapter 3 and watch the following videos is you speak English.. If not – please research other video or written material about these areas. If you can suggest any relevant video /you tube sources about the tensions and rank dynamics between the different regions of Italy, please let me know.
