Back for it's fourth year, we are thrilled to host a number of exciting events the week of May 6-10, 2024 to celebrate Mental Health Week! Presented by the department of Applied Psychology and Human Development (APHD), we invite you to join us for one or all of the events listed below.
This symposium seeks to bring together diverse perspectives and interpretations of Frantz Fanon's writing and theory. Multidisciplinary forms of Fanonian thought will be addressed, including theories of race, gender, and other forms of sociocultural identities; as well as decolonization and contemporary liberation.
Join us for an exciting afternoon, followed by a reception and a play reading of A Wretched Mourning, a play about the story of Josie and Frantz Fanon (hosted by the UofT, Centre for Drama, Theatre and Performance Studies (CDTPS) at Luella Massey Studio Theatre.

Topic: Deconstructing Cisheteronormativity in Counselling and Educational Contexts
Abstract: Would you like to think more about why some genders and sexualities have been considered normal over time while others have not? Do you want to learn about how psychiatric tools like the Diagnostic Statistical Manual (DSM) have contributed to the pathologization of queerness and transness? Attend this interactive workshop where we deconstruct white colonial gender and sexual norms, learn about gender expansive identities across the globe, and brainstorm ways to challenge everyday cisheteronormativity. This workshop will help dispel the idea that gender and sexuality is only relevant for queer and trans people and will invite internal curiosity. It is designed with counselling students and educators in mind and will encourage different modes of participation. As individuals will come with varying levels of pre-existing knowledge about gender and sexuality, a 15 minute optional debrief for any 2S/LGBTQIA+ or questioning attendees who want to process anything that comes up or to simply to connect with peers will be offered at the end of the workshop.
