DISMANTLING POWER & PRIVILEGE
Dismantling Power & Privilege is a space for non-BIPOC students to do the work of identifying and rooting out the many ways in which we participate in and benefit from racism and white-supremacy. Blind spots, missteps, fears, ignorance’s, privileges and places where we are conflicted will all have a place here. The goal of the group is for each person to feel seen and heard from a non-judgmental place that can allow the group to have difficult discussions about privilege, internalized racism, and how we unconsciously cause harm to clients of color and/or clients with other marginalized identities. Self-awareness is the foundation upon which systemic change can occur. We are committed to growing in anti-racism and creating accountability and healing spaces where we’ve caused harm. This group facilitates a space to process other areas of power and privilege, including but not limited to: ableism, sizeism, gendered power, heterosexism, etc.
