Intersectionality: Examining Concepts of Privilege

When: Tuesday, May 11, 2021 

Time: 4 p.m. - 6 p.m.

In the last session of this 3-part workshop, participants will complete pre-work through self-directed learning. Definitions of terms such as institutional power, 4 levels of oppression, privilege and others will be provided. Participants will be expected to draw on lessons learned, tools used in Part 1 and Part 2, and new activities introduced into this training to examine the complexities of their own identities. The selected activities for this training are not designed to make participants feel guilty or ashamed around having or not having privilege, but rather to explore how we ALL have SOME privilege and to learn how to engage our privilege to determine if we want to be an actor, ally and/or accomplice when navigating spaces.

By the end of this session, participants will:

• Be able to reflect on the impact of privilege on their own life
• Engage in discussions with colleagues to compare the effects of implicit bias and privilege
• Synthesize in small group settings the effects of privilege on health equity
• Analyze ways to mitigate privilege in institutional systems
