What is cultural appropriation really, and why is it harmful? This presentation provides definitions, historical and cultural information, and examines the complexities and opportunities for exploitation and oppression of non-dominant cultures by even well-meaning people. Through activities and discussions, participants will explore ways to understand the difference between appreciation and appropriation and gain the confidence to have difficult conversations with peers for better understanding across cultural differences.
