This course is an introduction to the issues that make it essential for community services to operate within an anti-racist, anti-sexist, and also a broader anti-oppressive perspective. Through the exploration of individual experience and case studies, the course reveals the manner in which privilege and oppression operate within society, and shows the need for community workers to identify, disrupt and challenge such oppression. This course provides students with a foundation from which they can draw throughout the rest of their studies, and their personal and professional lives.
