From Colonization to Heterosexism and Sexism
This anti-oppression e-course will examine the link between white Christian colonization in the Americas and the evolution of heterosexism and sexism in the 20th and 21st century. Understanding the corollary between eurocentric morality and imposition of gender and sexual inequity is key to dismantling these two dominant mechanisms of oppression. Unpacking one's own bias around these complex identities is also a fundamental step in the process followed up by determining the power we have to replicate or interrupt oppression.
