Online-Seminar as part of the International Summer Academy 2025

Diversity-sensitive and power-critical therapy: an introduction to intersectionality

with Dr. med. Amma Yeboah, January 26, 2025, 7.30 pm

Discriminatory acts in therapeutic support often take place unconsciously and without intention. This event will focus on the structural, cultural, interpersonal and individual practices of dominance in our healthcare system, using sexism and racism as examples. The interdependence of different forms of discrimination with social power relations will be presented and discussed using the analytical tool of intersectionality. Intersectionality includes analytical and practical methods to understand the complexity of social realities in a globalized world, social structures, the experiential reality of individual subjects and human identities. The goal of intersectional practice is social justice. Participants are invited to sensitize themselves to social structures of domination and multiple practices of discrimination in everyday life, as well as to explore ways of diversity-sensitive and power-critical practice.

Dr. Amma Yeboah leads this seminar pro bono and donates her proceeds to the Theodor- Wonja-Michael Library (Black Library NRW) in Cologne.
