How Attitude and Behaviors are Developed: Tuesday, May, 7, 2019, 7:00 pm- 9:30 pm ET

Social behavior is, by and large, learned behavior. Agents of influence- people, systems, institutions, experiences - that we are exposed to all of our lives teach us what we are expected to believe about ourselves and others. This part of the series will explore the loci of those attitudes and beliefs, that ultimately inform and drive our decisions and behaviors.  At the conclusion of this segment, participants will be able to identify those influences that helped to define attitudes/belief systems and the resulting interaction narratives.

Internalized oppression can manifest in a variety of discourses such as oppression, social dominance, experience oppression, sexism, discrimination, audism, and dysconscious audism.

Dismantling Oppression: Respecting Equality and Inclusion: Monday, November 4, 2019, 7:00 pm - 9:30 pm ET

This workshop will begin a conversation toward shifting the existing oppression paradigms by challenging the accepted and practiced narratives and practicing self-determination regarding our cultural identities, diversity, equality, as well as intra- and intergroup interaction. The lack of attention to any manifestation of oppression, however, results in our ignorance of the resulting problems and frees us from taking any responsibility. During this discussion, we will expose and examine ways to challenge the dominant culture view.
