Participants will engage womanist approaches to theologies and practices of care and counseling in light of their decolonial aims. The workshop format will be didactic and participatory. We will focus our attention on the development of three capacities necessary for undertaking decolonial cares:
- Defining womanist approaches to care
- Articulating their decolonial aims
- Examining 3 examples of womanist approaches to decolonizing care from different care contexts
Participants will be able to
- Define womanist care and counseling in terms of theological, culture analyses, and practice aims
- Articulate criteria for a womanist decolonial approach to defining and practicing care and counseling
- Critically evaluate practices of care from a womanist decolonial perspective
- Critical analyze theologies of care and counseling in relation to decolonial commitments.
