Race and Equity Leadership: Interrupting Privilege
Prof. Ralina Joseph
Winter 2017
Most discussions of inequality focus on violence, disproportionality, and discrimination. But what about the concept of privilege? How does privilege – in terms of race, gender, sexuality, and citizenship status – shore up inequality?
This seminar engages questions of privilege through the Graduate School’s yearlong public lecture and workshop series on “Privilege.” Students – at times with UW alums – will meet weekly to read and discuss the scholarship and activism of the 2016-17 public lecturers, or attend the lectures and workshops themselves, which in the Winter quarter includes UCLA’s education professor Pedro Noguera on inequalities in educational achievements, and UW’s Joy Williamson-Lott on the history of oppression, privilege and education.
