The goal for this course is to provide you with a foundational understanding of Liberation and Social Justice. This means that you will learn the concepts, theory, and language to understand Social Justice and understand oppression. More importantly, you will learn about these things from a LIBERATION perspective. Unfortunately, much of the time the work we do is fighting against something rather than fighting FOR something. Understand this: We study oppression not for the sake of studying oppression, we study it so that we may better understand how to enact liberation. This course will teach all of its material from that perspective, preparing you to go into the world and build the change you wish to see.

This section of Foundations of Social Justice is designed for fitness professionals. In it, you will work with other fitness professionals to learn about liberation and social justice and the issues that are specific to the world of professional fitness and create proactive solutions to address them. If you are not a fitness professional and you are interested in learning about Liberation and Social justice, please see the original Foundations of Social Justice course, which is open to everyone.
