How does an inter-sectional lens help us to understand and analyze power and inequality?
What does it mean to have privilege and relative privilege? In the second lecture of this week we think about privilege as something related to our ‘position’ or ‘social location’ in terms of our ‘race’, ‘gender’, sexuality, class and disability vis-à-vis other people.
We think about how the privilege we enjoy might change in particular contexts and why. We also think about how reflecting upon our ‘social location’ might productively contribute to scholarship, public debate and action around power, inequality and social change.
