    4. SOCIAL LOCATION AND SYSTEMS OF OPPRESSION 

      Purpose:       Understanding our social location means understanding how elements of our identity — i.e. gender, race, class, sexuality, etc. — relate to people around us. This can be conceptualized as relational status, position in society, privilege, and/or oppression/marginalization, depending on which element of your identity is at play. Knowledge of our social location helps us reflect on the context in which we exist, and how these elements intersect within ourselves and with others, impacting perception, actions, and relationality. The purpose of the training is not to change anyone views but assist participants in being honest with themselves about who they are.
