Using Phenomenology to Explore What It Is Like to Be Culturally Oppressed

On Being 'Othered': Using Phenomenology to Explore What It Is Like to Be Culturally OppressedThis three-part course introduces key concepts from phenomenology for the purpose of investigating the relational and embodied dimensions of systemic cultural oppression on the lived experiences of our patients and ourselves. The phenomenological study of subjectivity will be demonstrated through introductory readings as well as two papers written specifically about the lived experience of racism and homophobia. The following questions are addressed: 1) What is the branch of philosophy known as phenomenology and how can it help clinicians? 2) What does it mean to investigate the structures of subjectivity? 3) How can phenomenological tools and insights be used to critically examine systems of oppression and their impact on the lives of patients and ourselves?The course is taught on Saturdays from 10:00 am to 11:30 am, January 23, 30, February 6, 2021.Learning ObjectivesI.
