Description:
The concept of privilege is often misunderstood, which may lead to defensiveness rather then insight. Sometimes, the concept of privilege is weaponized to create us-them divisions, or to cast blame on certain groups. This doesn't help build understanding of privilege, which is a very important aspect of our shared experiences. In fact, without an understanding of what privilege is and how it matters, we can't progress in our work toward equity. The purpose of this workshop is to explore the concept of privilege--what it is, how it integrates with group/social identities, and how we can leverage privilege to further equity for all.
