Workshop: Unpacking the Invisible Knapsack: How Privilege Manifests in Everyday Life

In 1988, American feminist and antiracist activist Peggy McIntosh published an influential essay about what she labeled "white and male privilege." In her essay, McIntosh identified 46 tangible unearned advantages she experiences because of her whiteness - things that are denied to people of color. In this 90-minute introductory workshop participants will learn about privilege, what it is and how it functions within systems to maintain oppression, and identify areas in which they simultaneously have and lack privilege across social identities.
