Session Description

This course is for organizations ready to look deeper at the psychological and sociological underpinnings of oppression in society and how they show up at work. Drawing from Dr. Leticia Nieto’s seminal work Beyond Inclusion, Beyond Empowerment: A Developmental Strategy to Liberate Everyone. This course examines how social identities, whether or not we choose them, play a role in every human interaction, including at work, and how we can all respond with empathy, compassion and respect.

• Explore Status, Rank and Power and how they factor into our socialization.
• Understand social identity as something that can be both ascribed and embraced, but not always a choice.
• Explore Dr. Pamela Hays’ A.D.R.E.S.S.I.N.G. framework for understanding social identity and oppression.
• Explore the different behaviors of Dr. Leticia Nieto’s Target and Agent model and how different identities can harm or support each other at work and beyond.
