Location: Online via Zoom
Program Fee: Free
CME/CE: This program has been approved for a maximum of 2 AMA PRA Category 1 Credit™ for free (for SFCP members).
Note: This program is open to SFCP members only.

In recent years, there have been multiple requests for a dedicated, judgement-free space for SFCP members to:

  1. learn about and discuss topics in the current DEI discourse.
  2. share our challenges and anxieties in addressing these issues in teaching and clinical settings.
  3. create psychoanalytic frameworks for working across differences within our learning groups. 

As a first step toward these goals, SFCP is offering a series of online DEI Conversations, divided into four modules, each offered multiple times during this academic year. It is recommended to take the modules sequentially, as the concepts will build on each other.

Building on the concepts and terms discussed in Module 1 (power, race, white supremacy) and Module 2 (bias, racism, and the impact of systemic racism), Module 3 will focus on the concept of intersectionality, its applicability to every human being, and how it involves an interplay between aspects of identity, targeting, and privilege.

We will also discuss trauma and fragility in the context of race and describe how these factors often make conversations about race challenging.

David Luna, SFCP’s DEI Consultant and volunteers from the DEI Steering Committee, the Strategic Direction “Promoting an Inclusive & Reflective Organization” Team, and other members.
