Let’s Talk with Dr. Krishauna Hines-Gaither: Dimensions of Oppression (Personal, Interpersonal, Institutional, Systemic, Cultural)

Please join Kennesaw State University Center for African and African Diaspora Studies as they welcome Dr. Krishauna Hines-Gaither for their spring conversation series, “Let’s Talk with Dr. Krishauna Hines-Gaither.”

This workshop presents the five dimensions of oppression and offers examples of each, as well as strategies for combating them. Many individuals are not equipped to combat oppression because they have failed to name it. Some are fighting the wrong fight. They may be attacking an issue on an interpersonal level, that really needs an institutional response. Powerful change can happen when there is a systematic understanding about the inner workings of the dimensions of oppression.
