Overview

We all have differences and similarities related to our identities and how they shape our world. A dynamic that is not always accounted for is the extent to which some identities are given unearned or solicited benefits and social power, while others are relegated to the margins. In this workshop, participants will reflect on their own areas of social power, learn about systems that reinforce these power structures historically and into the present day, and build skills to analyze and respond to everyday situations using an intersectional lens.

Learning Objectives

  1. Learn concepts of privilege, supremacy, and oppression.
  2. Increase awareness of privilege as it relates to individual identities and systems.
  3. Develop skills to analyze everyday situations using an intersectional lens.
