Fundamentals of Anti-Oppression dives deeper than your typical diversity and inclusion workshop. In this workshop, participants are given the opportunity to explore systemic oppression, social justice, privilege, identity and allyship through a variety of engaging activities. Through self-reflection, community- based inquiry, lessons from history and collaborative problem solving, participants gain the knowledge and skills to view the world through an anti- oppressive lens. To support the Capacity Building goal in the Inclusion Action Plan, this workshop is being offered to staff and faculty  to increase opportunities for equity, diversity and inclusion education and  training to enhance institutional and individual capacities and skills.

We are pleased to be hosting this workshop delivered by Bakau Consulting Inc. (formerly Cicely Blain Consulting). Bakau Consulting is a full-service equity, inclusion and anti-racism consulting company based in Canada, with a global, intersectional approach. Through engaging activities, reflective prompts, a’ha moments, and skill-building perspectives, workshops give participants the tools to apply learnings in all aspects of their lives.
