Social Justice and Diversity
Differentiation without discrimination
Mo. 15. Oktober 2012, 9.00 Uhr bis Di. 16. Oktober 2012, 18.00 Uhr
A variety of social movements have arisen in the past 150 years to mobilise against the mechanisms of oppression and repression based in established and sometimes institutionalised unequal power structures. The diversity approach offers these movements the theory and practice needed to develop synergies, bundle energies and agree common aims.
Social justice is a method that deals specifically with the intersectionality of different forms of discrimination, such as sexism, anti-semitism, racism, classism and heteronormativity. Impossible to separate completely, these different forms can be treated as having similar structures and reinforcing each other.
The social justice approach uses dialogue, with a focus on understanding different conditions and the power (or lack of power) arising from these conditions. This approach considers all forms of discrimination in an equally serious way, with the aim of building up appreciative, supportive relations with others that are based on dialogue and mutual acceptance. It also aims to develop and apply the appropriate activities needed to live those relations.
