Workshop Description
When discussing issues around race, inclusion, diversity and anti-oppression frameworks- Power and Privilege always comes up. It is discussed as the unequal distribution of power or the lack of it experienced by certain communities. But what exactly is power and privilege? How does it play out in the workplace? What are the impact of it on our mental health?
This workshop will explore how power is socially constructed to exert influence and how privilege increases choices for some and removes it from others. Reflective discussions can lead to greater awareness on how to leverage power and privilege to make positive workplace changes and increase our overall wellness.
