In times of crisis, social inequalities not only persist but widen and deepen. Increasing international conflicts, overburdened healthcare systems, and the unfolding climate crisis are causing further harms to the most vulnerable in our society. We must transform our increasingly polarized society through approaches to diversity, equity, and inclusion that help us recognize and value our differences as strengths that we can harness to solve these crises together. This VOD course in an introduction to anti-oppressive approaches to diversity, equity, and inclusion. It calls upon us to address barriers to success by carefully undoing inequalities without causing further oppression. Trauma-centred and attentive to harm-reduction, these approaches redirect our gaze inward to help us value and leverage the diversity that each of us brings to our communities as we work towards a just and sustainable society.
