Inclusive Leadership- Applying Anti-Oppressive and Anti-Racism Lenses to Decision-Making

This session will explore how to engage critically in anti-oppression and anti-racism and provide frameworks for engaging in equitable and inclusive decision-making at the University. Anti-oppressive leadership involves both critical and practical examinations of individual, interpersonal, systemic, and cultural barriers to full participation for equity-deserving groups. Applying an anti-oppressive lens to our work is essential to cultivating an inclusive campus where every individual experiences a sense of belonging.

Learning Objectives:

• Gain a broader awareness of equity in the post-secondary context and understand connections between a sense of belonging and institutional excellence
• Identify and apply key concepts, including diversity, equity, inclusion, anti-oppression, and anti-racism
• Apply an equity and anti-oppression lens to leadership and decision-making and critically reflect upon the measurable effects of inclusive leadership
• Identify and apply anti-oppressive frameworks that act as catalysts for individual, interpersonal, systemic, and cultural changes
• Understand how racial privilege and bias affect individuals and communities; and
• Be able to identify ways to implement anti-racist and anti-oppressive frameworks in our campus spaces and interactions.
