Socially Just Conversations
Socially Just Conversations
At the Windz Centre we choose to locate our philosophy, assumptions and practices within a postmodern lens. This invites us to question background discourses in our societies and their relational, social and political effects on each one of us. We intentionally teach and practice narrative therapy as it resonates with our values for non-pathologizing, socially just conversations.
We are on an ongoing journey…to do our part within ourselves, our communities, and to join with marginalized communities around shared purposes of resistance to structural violence, oppression, lack of accountability, and abuses of power—to contribute toward a more just society.
We recognize that our contributions will be imperfect, so we are committed to critical reflection and intentionally stepping out of our comfortable places into conversations that invite challenge and a further deepening of our understandings.
We are committed to listening to people’s words and stories so they are heard, and so that we are changed—so our thoughts and actions are informed by what we have heard and learned.
We strive to recognize, speak out against, and work and teach in ways that stand against racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, ableism, and xenophobia, and other forms of prejudice and discrimination.
