About the Seminar: Higher Learning: Ethically Engaging in Disrupting Oppression
Working towards social justice requires the intentional development of a diverse, equitable, and inclusive culture by intervening at the micro, memo, and macro levels. Engaging in intervention strategies are an ethical obligation of health professionals to improve the total wellness of others. Participants will be introduced to principles of systemic oppression that leads to disproportionate outcomes, learn how oppression interferes with achieving social justice within higher education and other domains of wellness, and obtain tools to dismantle oppression using common agreements to improve health outcomes.
Dacia R. Price, Ph.D., LMSW
