By recognizing that individuals exist at the intersections of multiple identities, including race, gender, sexuality, ability, and more, we explore how privilege and marginalization manifest in unique ways for each individual. Participants of this live course will learn and understand how each of us occupies a distinct intersection of identities, leading to varying experiences of privilege and oppression.
