This student led workshop will create space to openly and critically unpack white identity and privilege. This will culminate in an open discussion about partaking in activist work as a white ally on campus with a goal to brainstorm on how to productively and respectfully engage in allyship work on campus and in the world more broadly. Participants will partake and leave with a variety of tools for engaging with whiteness through this critical, honest, and open conversation about whiteness.
