Coming in From the Cold: Liberation Psychology for Counselors and Educators

How might consciousness about oppression affect our understanding of individual psychological symptoms, social challenges, educational opportunities, and possibilities for social change?

This interactive workshop draws from the work of several theorists in the field of postcolonial studies, a discipline that critiques the legacies of colonization including contemporary forms of neoliberal capitalism and globalization

Presented by Dr. Deanne Bell, a Jamaican liberation psychologist whose teaching, research and social activism interests focus on social emancipation, this workshop that will:

* Explore the history and context of psychic colonization and its implications

* Explore individualism as a dominant paradigm in American psychology contrasting this with the idea of an interdependent self

* Discuss and critique select postcolonial thinkers and the relevance of their ideas in the context of contemporary instances of social injustice

* Cultivate an awareness of how to move between personal suffering and collective trauma
