Psychologists are in key positions to lead constructive self-exploration of one's privilege and intersectionality, which can enhance personal satisfaction and organizational health. The purpose of the course is for self-examination regarding one’s own privilege as well as how to lead others to build conversational skills across intersections of different forms of privilege. The workshop has evolved from several versions of self-study programs for exploration of white privilege, yet all interested professionals are welcome to attend. The authors based their approach on the premises that privilege is a real phenomenon and that we are not bad people because we have biases, yet we fail ourselves and others when we do not acknowledge our biases and allow them to be put into action.

Learning Objectives:

  1. Participants will be able to describe what privilege means in one's life and how it bestows unearned advantages to some at the cost to others without such privilege.
  2. Participants will be able to strengthen emotional and communicative skill sets related to talking about privilege.
  3. Participants will be able to make a plan for behavioral changes that resist compliancy of the inaction inherent in different forms of privilege.
