Intersectional Approaches to Race and Otherness in the Light of Black Lives Matter 

Presented by Dr Dwight Turner

2020 will probably go down as the most tumultuous year in most of our lifetimes.  From, the global pandemic, Covid-19 and the lockdowns and deaths that have followed, to the murder of George Floyd and the subsequent protests against racism and abuse around the world, the impact of the past several months upon clients and practitioners has led us all to question our intersecting identities. In my mind, it is no coincidence that race, racism and civil rights have risen to the forefront of our professions as psychologists and psychotherapists, and in particular the specific focus upon White Supremacy and its weekly, hourly, minute by minute impact upon and within the racial other.

This presentation, considers the role damaging unconscious White Supremacy plays within our organisations, whilst offering examples of the power brought to bear in training organisations when they not only consider whiteness but also adopt a more intersectional approach as an integral aspect of their trainings.

Most of us, by the time we reach adulthood, know the guidelines for nutrition and healthy weight management. So, why do many of us break those rules? What are the many triggers? In 2020 -The global pandemic’s alarming daily figures highlighted the risks and complications of being overweight. Yet despite this, a large proportion of the UK further increased their BMI. 

This seminar is about exploring the common themes of yo yo dieting and breaking the rules.
If we can identify triggers for deliberately overeating, can we find the better, personal triggers that will enable us to take back control?
