This session presents critical ways to understand whiteness and white privilege on personal levels – how it shows up in thoughts, actions, and beliefs – and what to do about it. More than just fragility and defensiveness, whiteness distorts how many people understand themselves in relation to others and systems of oppression (even, at times, among those who may identify as people of color). Learning how to identify the depth and layers of whiteness is critical for challenging its influence over how we know ourselves and show up for social justice.
