Decentering Power in Clinical Supervision
Overview
Live Online Seminar
Tuesday, March 22, 2022
5:00-6:30pm ET
NYSED and ASWB/ACE approved for 1.5 CE contact hours
In this talk, we will discuss anti-oppressive supervision practices that address power dynamics in the supervisory room (O’Neil, et al., 2018; Rankine, 2017). Rooted in an anti-blackness framework that considers the experiences of all BIPOC individuals, this discussion will explore restructuring hierarchies in supervisory practices, exploring white supremacy culture, and how it may manifest in supervision, investigating internalized oppression and its manifestation in internalized superiority or internalized inferiority and conclude with best practices for supervisors and supervisees in enacting their liberation.
Learning Objectives
As a result of attending this seminar, participants will be able to:
- Define social location and discuss how it relates to supervision.
- Discuss at least 3 (three) differences between traditional supervision and anti-racist supervision practices.
- Discuss at least 2 (two) ways in which white supremacy culture manifests in clinical work.
