Worlds within Wellesley: Power, Privilege & Intersectionality

Wednesday 15 December 2021

Discussion on the intersections of race/gender and power/privilege, and how these intersections impact the dynamic at Wellesley College.

 

While we all went to Wellesley College, people of color (POC) often experience our alma mater in vastly different ways than their white classmates. Even in “women-centered spaces,” white people can, either intentionally or unintentionally, marginalize, dismiss and harm Black Indigenous People of Color (BIPOC). In this workshop, we will discuss the intersections of race and gender, the resulting distribution of power and privilege, and how it impacts the dynamic within the Wellesley community.
