New Conversations® About White Privilege

The New Conversations® About White Privilege tool is designed for individuals and groups who have begun to explore racism and want to learn more about the various facets of the issue. The white privilege tool draws on the work of author Dr. Peggy McIntosh, who defines privilege as unearned advantage.

“I feel that seeing privilege is the missing link between understanding discrimination of any kind and how to end it. I now believe that white privilege, rather than discrimination, is the central actor in racism,” McIntosh writes.

This two-hour dialogue introduces the concept of systemic thinking, uses both small and large group activities to process the information in a meaningful way and encourages participants to think about how they can spend bank accounts privilege to undo racism.
