De-centering the Privileged
Wednesday, Nov. 6 from 1 to 1:50 p.m.
Bulmer Telecommunications Center Auditorium
The definition of intersectional community organizing is prioritizing the concerns of the most marginalized. This approach requires centering the needs of those burdened by multiple intersections of oppression while DE-centering the needs of those with the most societal privilege.
Privileged groups – including, but not limited to, white, male, straight, cisgender, and/or able-bodied individuals – are prone to stifle and resist initiatives not directly addressing their priorities. Boston-based poet and activist DiDi Delgado will discuss the challenges and rewards of intersectional community organizing.
Voices: A Library Lecture Series is offered each semester to broaden and enrich the scope of studies at the college by presenting speakers on timely and enduring issues.
The public is welcome to attend; admission is free.
