2020/2021 CONFERENCE SERIES (VIA ZOOM): CROWDED ROOMS, EMPTY ROOMS AND EMERGENCY ROOMS Living in Precarious Times.   Wednesday April 28, 2021 — 12:00-2:00 PM – 2CE’s Dislocation of the Oppressor Within: The Unconscious Phenomenology of Race Zachary Gabriel Green, PhD

When we earnestly reflect on the challenge of addressing issues of race in psychoanalytically-informed practice, we are likely to encounter our own well-defended unconscious biases towards “the other” as well as the perilous resistance of the oppressor within ourselves to examination. This talk, based on organizational cases from contrast contexts, will explore diverse efforts by these client systems to face race. Particular focus will be given to exploration of how the phenomenology of experience contributes to ways we may promote and perpetuate systems of oppression. Implications for training and treatment will be considered.
