Identity, Power, and Privilege

What does it mean to have privilege? How do your social identities (e.g., race, gender, class, religion, sexuality, etc.) grant or deny you privilege? How do you know when you have it and when you don't? How can we use power and privilege to transform systems that perpetuate inequity? This 2-hour interactive webinar will explore these questions, providing participants with an opportunity to delve into their social identities - a process that reveals how we all have and lack privilege simultaneously. Participants will begin to uncover sources of bias that have been reinforced through socialization, critically evaluate stereotypes and assumptions about social identity groups, and identify small actions that can be taken to disrupt inequitable social systems.

This event is free and open to all OSU students, staff, and faculty. It will not be recorded.
