The Decoloniality and Social Privilege Awareness Initiative (DSPAI) at Antioch University Seattle began in 2017 with a qualitative research project constructing a developmental model of privilege awareness headed up by Dr. Jude Bergkamp in collaboration with two committed doctoral students.

Striving to incorporate social justice activism into our endeavors as clinicians, researchers, and community members, we are committed to approaching our work through the lens of decoloniality and investigating the role of coloniality in our scholarship, professional work, and personal lives.
