This online interactive workshop is exclusively for BKin students and will take place on Friday, October 1, 2021 at 1:30 p.m. – 3:00 p.m. EDT.

How do we define equity, diversity, and inclusion (EDI), and how do they relate to the overarching concept of anti-oppression? How have ideas about EDI been challenged and complicated in the literature? In this interactive session, gain a more nuanced understanding of EDI and consider how the concepts of anti-oppression and social justice can be applied to your own kinesiology/physical activity research and student-led organizing.

Key topics covered in this session include: 

1.            The Faculty’s commitment to EDI, anti-oppression. and anti-colonialism.

2.            A definition of EDI and anti-oppression, including how the EDI framework has been complicated and challenged.

3.            Identifying ways in which one is embedded and complicit in system of oppression.

4.            Intersectionality and the ways it can be applied in equity initiatives and research.

5.            Linking key concepts of anti-oppression and social justice to kinesiology/physical activity community-based movements and research.

6.            Relating EDI and anti-o concepts to student curricular and co-curricular activities.
