Gender in Context: An Intersectional Approach

Course Overview

This course will explore the intersectionality of trans-identity within larger community systems and how that relates to mental health. Systems of privilege and oppression that have resulted in transphobia and cissexism will be explored. Students will also develop skills to build safe communities and develop trans-affirmative resources. Particular areas of focus may include family law and policy, working with groups of individuals and families, and collaborating with multiple system levels in clinical work.

Course Materials: Antioch learners are enrolled in automatic delivery of all required course materials via our bookstore partner, Slingshot. This means that while students are automatically enrolled to receive all required course materials by the first day of class, you are not required to participate and may choose to opt-out.
