Historical NoteReturn to Top
Team Liberation was established in 2002 at Oregon State University as a program of the Diversity Development Office. In June 2002, a group of 10 Oregon State students and 2 administrators were trained as faciilatators by Linda Sneddon, Program Director of the National Conference of Community and Justice in Portland, Oregon. These facilitators (mostly students) began presenting workshops in summer 2002.
A promotional flyer within the collection describes the purpose of the organization this way: "We as facilitators are seeking to help people liberate themselves from the thought-patterns and actions of social systems of oppresssion in which they have been immersed. We seek to manifest the change that we seek in the world -- that everyone, regardless of race, gender, sexual orientation, class, religion, age, or ability, has an equal opportunity to grow, thrive and live with dignity and respect."
