Abstract

In higher education, the experiences of historically marginalized and underrepresented students are often undervalued, challenged, or ignored. Counselor educators must actively advocate within predominantly white, heteronormative, and cisgender-centered training environments by leading initiatives that decolonize the classroom and center liberation. The purpose of this manuscript is to introduce, Liberatory Anti-Oppression in Counselor Education, a culturally responsive pedagogical framework designed to infuse anti-oppressive, antiracist, and liberation-based practices into counselor training. To develop this framework, we conducted a review of peer-reviewed scholarly literature from academic journals. The result of this inquiry is a structured approach for counselor educators to implement liberatory practices in the classroom. We conclude by calling for a shift in the counseling profession toward liberation, offering practical strategies for educators and students alike.
