NOTE: The Equity and Anti-Oppression for Adjudicators workshop series scheduled for March 11 and April 1, 2022 has been postponed until later in 2022. Information on the new dates will be available soon.
Equality and Anti-Oppression for Adjudicators
This two-part webinar series will give you tools to combat implicit bias and prejudice in tribunal proceedings. Part one will be an introduction to white privilege, white supremacy and racism. Part two will focus on what you can do to address unconscious bias, racism and oppression in your work as a tribunal administrator, counsel or adjudicator. Choose to attend one or both parts.
Part I: Anti-Oppression Introduction
The anti-oppression workshop provides a space where participants will be engaged in discussions on white privilege in the context of white supremacy and colonization, understanding racial trauma and how it is perpetuated, conversations on intersectionality and how various marginalized identities (e.g., gender, ability, class, sexual orientation, etc.) intersect to create unique experiences of oppression, and an exploration of ways to reduce unconscious bias and white privilege in the workplace. Through the use of role-playing, exercise methods of enacting allyship will be presented and practiced. The workshop will be highly interactive and participants are asked to be open to challenging their own ways of thinking. As facilitators we promise to give participants space, within reason, to explore difficult questions and concepts. (Note: This does not include the space to debate anyone’s human rights or humanity).
