Privilege and Identity
7 p.m. – 9 p.m. | EVC Auditorium
We some times think of privilege as money or legacy, but privilege also includes your age, gender, race, nationality, education and religion. In other words, it’s what makes people take you seriously-or not. This panel will address such questions as:
1. Under what conditions can privilege change?
2. What is privilege?
3. Can a lack of privilege be an asset under certain conditions?
