Description

This workshop explores how concepts of power and privilege and Harro’s cycles of socialization and liberation may be used in higher education. The cycle of socialization emphasizes the cultural forces creating and sustaining inequities; the cycle of liberation focuses on the process for transforming our patterns and creating personal and social change.

In the workshop we will discuss classroom practice, co-curricular activities, and employee/faculty activities which can either support or challenge systems of oppression. Approaches to surfacing and interrupting invisible systemic oppression will be demonstrated through activities which raise awareness, expand knowledge and enhance skills for change. The cycle of liberation will serve as a guide to designing and implementing diversity-focused initiatives for students and employees.
