"The personal anecdotes and professional experience from the field helped give great insight into the topics discussed."
"Every lecture had a clear and relevant theme, and the readings were thoughtfully chosen to create great class discussions."
"I appreciated the real-world stories and the use of readings by multiple authors, rather than a textbook; it was helpful to hear a variety of perspectives. I also appreciated having a focus on trauma as a worker and the way it can impact our practice. I think the course did a really good job of addressing intersectionality and the way marginalization is a factor in trauma."
"This is one of the few courses I have taken… that truly committed to being anti-oppressive and intersectional, setting strong examples we can follow and look up to, all while guiding us in thinking critically and committing to the ongoing learning - both necessary to building our anti-oppressive and intersectional understandings for our careers and lives."
"Each class is filled with passion, mindfulness, and intention - all while fostering a supportive and encouraging environment for participation and growing together".
"I appreciated how this course addressed structural issues in a practical way and gave us things we could do in our everyday practice to resist it, rather than stop at just analyzing the injustice like many other courses."
