Students will critically analyze structural inequality and human occupation. Students will explore occupational therapy as a political practice that has the potential to reproduce and mitigate oppressive social relations that shape the occupations of everyday life. Students will explore how intersectional oppressions (and related social issues) influence/shape human occupation; question underlying social norms, assumptions and values; and develop practices that affirm human diversity.
