This session will explore the relationship between identity and ideology, examining how a better understanding of personal identity and wider social constructs can be leveraged towards more equitable social systems.
The session will also look specifically at how dominant ideologies persist through institutions including education, and the challenges posed for those of us seeking social justice. Finally, Jeffrey will consider approaches for how best to progress in this work and perspectives that can help illuminate seemingly difficult conversations.

Trauma informed and compassionate leadership: Building an anti-racist culture through a trauma informed lens.
This session will explore the importance of building a trauma-informed and compassionate College community, which in turn, enables us to nuture an inclusive and informed approach to education and support, better understanding the intersectionalities between marginalised groups and those who have experienced trauma in their life.
We will explore principles and the practical application of moving from trauma aware to trauma informed and the importance of relational practice.
