Course Description:
· Healing from pain and traumas that result from oppressive sociopolitical structures such as racism, Islamophobia, and sexism must be approached from a multifaceted perspective. The individual must understand themselves in context, and heal on a personal level, while society must change to stop oppression from occurring. Thus, healing cannot be done alone and does not happen in a vacuum. For true healing to occur, a transformation needs to happen on the individual and societal level. These transformations take place when we as a community can work to raise awareness of issues of inequality and intersectionality, affirm salient cultural identities, resist against oppressive systems, and promote social change that will alleviate suffering. This year, we welcome all proposals related to Muslim Mental Health, with a special emphasis on proposals focused on Restorative Healing and Liberation in Context.
