About the site
This Anti-Oppression web site is a resource for
anyone interested in learning more about oppression and how to
move toward equity and creating positive space – it is also recommended
as a pre-requisite for OPIRG volunteers and as a supplement (not
a replacement) for our facilitated Anti-Oppression workshops held
each term.
The website deals with seven facets of oppression,
where each type of oppression covers the following topics:
- Definition
- Examples
- How to Interrupt
- Ally
- Privilege
This website also provides various links to external
websites which provide information and other great resources.
