SJC Circle - Tackling Transphobia with Gendered Intelligence

The SJC Circle series provides a regular space for those committed to anti-oppression, social justice and EDI to come together to learn, heal, grow, share wisdom and take action.

We bring to you the leading minds in the field to share their knowledge and experience, and to support you to apply it to your own organisation or practice.

About they keynote

A wonderful facilitator from Gendered Intelligence will be delivering a workshop centred on Tackling Transphobia. The workshop will be a mixture of presentation, group discussion and Q&A. They will explore the different forms of transphobia and the current anti-trans narratives in society. They will also discuss approaches to tackling various manifestations depending on context, such as individual vs systemic etc.

NB: This keynote will NOT be recorded.

The session will also offer space for participants to bring their own current EDI or anti-oppression challenges in order to receive the support and collective wisdom of the SJC Circle.

FAQs

What is the format of the SJC Circle?

The session is divided into two parts: a keynote and a breakout space.

The Keynote will be delivered by leading minds in the field to share their knowledge and experience, and to support you in applying it to your own organisation or practice.

This is then followed by a breakout space where participants can bring their own current EDI or anti-oppression challenges in order to receive the support and collective wisdom of the SJC Circle.

Will the SJC Circle be recorded?

Where we have consent from the speaker, the Keynote is recorded and is distributed to ticket-holders only after the event. We kindly ask that these recordings are not shared further.

Any activities / interactive elements during the keynote are always edited out for the sake of confidentiality.

Where we do not have consent to record the Keynote, we will be sure to share other resources related to the topic.

We do our best to make it clear in the comms where the sessions are / are not being recorded, but if you are unsure if a topic is being recorded please email sjccircle@socialjusticecollective.co.uk and can let you know.

We do not record the breakout spaces as these are confidential spaces to share issues and concerns.

Update for 15 October SJC Circle ONLY - this talk will NOT be recorded but resources will be shared with ticket holders afterwards.

Who is the SJC Circle for?

The SJC Circle is for those folks passionate and committed to anti-oppression, social justice and EDI (Equity, Diversity and Inclusion). Open to folks from all backgrounds, the session is designed for those ‘doing this work’ in their organisations and contexts to give them the knowledge and tools to apply this to these concepts to their work.

Tell me more about the breakout spaces.

The breakout spaces are where participants are arranged into smaller groups and have the opportunity to ask for advice or resources, share a challenge or simply to vent a little about anything they find challenging in their work towards anti-oppression / EDI. The idea is that each participant can benefit from the collective wisdom of others in the group and to remember that they are no alone in this work.

Do I have to say something in the breakout spaces?

No, there is no pressure to share in the breakout space at all. If you wish to observe and listen that is absolutely fine. We just ask that whether you are in sharing-mode or listening-mode, that compassion and respect is upheld at all times.
