Power & Privilege Training.

The goals of this workshop are to identify barriers to equity in our personal and professional lives, increase cultural and interpersonal awareness, and explore best practices for equity and inclusion in our private and public relationships.

Training Outline.

Through individual exploration, dialogue, and role play, participants will:

• Investigate privilege framed in a historical context.
• Discover ways power and privilege most commonly affect our lives internally, interpersonally, and institutionally (Eg microaggressions in public space).

• Identify links between the personal and the political- ways our interpersonal and social policies and practices create barriers to equity. (Eg legislation limiting women’s reproductive freedom.)
• ​Reimagine social dynamics, spaces, and policies that maximize equity and inclusion.

Key Learning

• ​Increase awareness of forms of power and privilege as they manifest internally (internalized supremacy or inferiority,) interpersonally (limiting beliefs and behaviors,) and institutionally (policy).
• Explore and exercise personal agency to interrupt injustice when it occurs interpersonally.
  
• Explore methods of resisting systemic inequity.
  
• Develop concrete ideas for redesigning or adjusting public spheres to augment justice. Identify individual commitments and create a plan of action.
