Session 3
Welcome to Session 3
Here’s what you need to do before we meet on Wednesday, Oct. 6:
- Read about unlearning white privilege
- Explore the role that power and privilege play in our society, and
- Review our co-facilitation checklist
Step 1: Read about unlearning white privilege
“I was taught to see racism only in individual acts of meanness, not in invisible systems conferring dominance on my group,” writes Peggy McIntosh in this classic 1990 article. Click the pic to read more.
Step 2: Explore the role that power and privilege play in our society
Dr. Amy Tan is an academic family and hospice palliative care physician in Calgary. Alarmed at the rise of organized white supremacy and the disproportionate impact of COVID-19 on racialized communities, Dr. Tan produced an excellent resource for contemplating how power and privilege operate in the Canadian context.
Dr. Tan’s graphic, and accompanying text, invites us to see who has power and privilege, and who doesn’t. She builds on the work of Black feminists by explaining how identities and oppressions overlap: how they “intersect”, or, how they are intersectional.
Step 3: Review our co-facilitation checklist
Santa ain’t the only one who makes a list and checks it twice. Check out this handy CUPE co-facilitating checklist – it’s a great tool to help you prepare for all your co-facilitation journeys, whether short workshops or extended trainings. This checklist puts the “co” in how to co-operate as a good facilitation partner.
All done? Congrats!
- You’ve read about unlearning white privilege
- You’re explored a current education tool on power and privilege in Canada, and
- You’ve reviewed CUPE Education’s co-facilitation checklist.
You’re all set for the third Zoom session on October 6 at 1:00 PM Eastern. See you there!
