Confronting Oppression
Examine the existence of power, privilege, and injustice while working toward equity

Most social systems are structured to keep people with power, in power.  As a result, many of us benefit in varying degrees and so it can be difficult to identify and challenge disparities.  This workshop helps you explore concepts of power, privilege, and oppression, and what you can do to work toward equity.

Learning Objectives:

  • Define privilege and oppression
  • Explore power within social systems
  • Identify actions you can take to work toward equity

This workshop is open to and free for all UCD students - click the link to sign in and participate!  The workshop also serves as one of the required prerequisite workshops for the Diversity Leadership Development Program (DLDP).

Policies and Best Practices

Out of respect to our facilitators and other participants, our policy is that students must arrive on time and stay for the full workshop.

To get the most out of your time with us we encourage you to:

  • Participate with a laptop or tablet
  • Prepare to interact using your microphone, webcam, and chat
  • Be ready to access external websites and documents

We also understand this may not be possible and encourage you to join us anyway, using whatever you've got! 
The CLL strives to make our workshops and programs accessible to the undergraduate community. If you need accommodations, please email us at cll@ucdavis.edu.
