Working in Global Health means eventually encountering privilege and oppression dynamics. This special workshop will give students the tools to:

• Understand the concepts of privilege and oppression, and their relationship to global health equity
• Analyze the application of these concepts to learners’ own social locations
• Understand the concept of allyship, and how it relates to one’s positions of privilege and oppression
• Apply the concept of allyship to learners’ own roles in global health

Stephanie Nixon PT, PhD, Associate Professor in the Department of Physical Therapy, cross-appointed at the Rehabilitation Sciences Institute and the Dalla Lana School of Public Health at the University of Toronto will lead the event. She has been an HIV activist and global health researcher for 20 years. Stephanie is a straight, white, middle class, able-bodied, cisgender female of settler descent who tries to understand the pervasive effects of privilege. In particular, she explores the role of power and privilege in shaping health research, education and clinical practice.

Lunch will be provided!
