Introduction to Transcultural and Intersectional Ego State Model

The model considers the intersect and interplay between race, gender, and other cultural selves, accounting for the complexity of cultural experience and narrative. Through enquiry of cultural selves and through mapping on an Ego State Model, we can develop more insight into intersectional identity, including how privilege and oppression is manifested in self and enacted in the world, how we may reflect on and locate cultural impasse, unconscious bias, generational oppression, white privilege, othering, and power dynamics.

Victoria will reflect on a dialogue with a colleague J, where both were called to name and account for their differences. In this dialogue cultural narrative was shared and unique differences and intersectional identities were mapped and discussed.

Participants will be invited to consider their transcultural experience and locate their intersectional identity, thus accounting for power dynamics.
