Salmon Bay School Event: Interrupting Privilege - Thurs, April 4 6:00-8:00 pm
This workshop asks participants to reflect deeply on their own positions of privilege - and lack thereof - as well as how one group’s privilege shores up another group’s inequality. We connect data about structural inequities to the everyday realities of our own lives. Taught by Ralina Joseph who is the founding director of the Center for Communication, Difference, and Equity (CCDE) at the University of Washington.
