C.R.A.S.H. Course on Anti-Oppression- Examining Classism, Racism, Ableism, Sexism and Heterosexism. This brand new text released in May 2022, is a compilation of my life's work and is designed to increase one's meta-cognition around mechanisms of power, privilege and how oppression can impact those with potentially marginalizing identities. It can be read in a day and is divided into three parts: 1) C.R.A.S.H- which names the oppressions and includes key tenets and thought catalysts. 2). Unpacking the "B.S." in Bias which examines bias construction and de-construction and 3). "The Polite Paki" which consists of stories and events that caused me to become an equity and human rights strategist.The book is perfect for educators, managers, parents and anyone who wants to sharpen their equity lens. It can be used a core text for book study groups as well.

"As a recent high school graduate heading to university, the book helped me to understand the struggles of others who have different identities. As a white able bodied male, it made me aware of privileges that I did not know that I had." -Patrick Noonan

"Chris's book "C.R.A.S.H." and his message in his anti-oppression workshops connect with people from all walks of life. The learning has helped me connect better with my clients and he is an amazing guitar teacher!!" -Erin Kelly, Fitness Instructor
