Anti-Oppression Workshop

November 16, 2012 - FTX 147, 11:30 am to 1:00 pm.

The WLMP has partnered up with The University of Ottawa Disability Law Association to create a personal workshop that uses interactive role-playing scenarios to arm you with the tools to recognize and confront oppressive situations.


Our facilitators Professor St. Lewis and a representative from the Law Society of Upper Canada will do their best in answering the following questions:


• "What makes a situation oppressive?"
• “What should I do in situation X, which I recognized as oppressive? “


We plan to have small group discussions about scenarios people have found oppressive. These scenarios will be created using personal experiences students can submit confidentially to diverstity.wlmp@gmail.com.


WHEN : November 16, 2012 – 11:30 am to 1:00 pm.
WHERE: Fauteux 147


**Note to ALL interested students**- The WLMP is pleased to extend the invitation to this event to ALL law students and faculty members.
