Intersectionality and Anti-Oppressive Practice

Intersectionality has been central to understanding inequality, identity and power relations in society. One of the difficulties of intersectional modern working practice is managing unconscious bias. In this course we explore and reflect on our unconscious biases and think practically about ways we can challenge them to help us promote diversity and equity, challenge discrimination and make our services inclusive.

The learning outcomes are:

• Define unconscious bias and explain the different ways in which bias can occur.
• Understand and define the meaning of intersectionality.
• Reflect critically on our own working practice to challenge unconscious bias and inequality generating ideas and actions to help reduce the impact of bias.
• Apply the theory of intersectionality to working practice and to effectively challenge unconscious bias and structural inequalities.
