Content
In this unit, students will learn how to critically examine the role of occupational therapy in reproducing or challenging systems of oppression, including White supremacy, colonialism, systemic racism, and ableism, within health, social, and community services. Students will engage with the politics of knowledge, power, and positionality, interrogating how whiteness and dominant professional norms shape occupational practices and marginalise other ways of knowing and being. Through collaborative, reflexive, and justice-oriented approaches, students will develop strategies to lead occupation-focused systems change that centres anti-racism, decoloniality, disability justice, and the right to equitable occupational participation across diverse communities.
