Announcement
Chacruna Course Starting
We are excited to announce that Dr. Williams is a professor in an online course being offered by Chacruna Institute on Diversity, Culture and Social Justice in Psychedelics. This is an 8 class course taught by several amazing expert colleagues in the field.
A pre-requisite for the forthcoming programs in Psychedelics is a graduate level course in Multicultural Psychology, and this course will fill that prerequisite.
If you have ever had an interest in psychedelics and would like to learn more about the social justice and activism aspects of this field, you are encouraged to apply for this course. There are also Continuing Education (CE) credits for practicing therapists who would like to expand their professional focus. Read more about Chacruna Institute psychedelic offerings.
Students will be introduced to basic concepts around psychedelics and justice, diversity, equity, and inclusion (JEDI). The goal of the course is to explore the ways in which psychedelics influence and are influenced by factors such as social justice, privilege, and diversity and to better understand their reciprocal influences on psychedelic science, therapies, and praxis.
Prior studies in ethnic and cultual diversity are essential for success.
Topics include:
- implicit bias, queer aspects, intersectionality, and social identity
- cultural humility
- power and privilege
- healing the racial divide
- uses of Indigenous plant medicines
- challenges around mainstreaming and globalization
