WRJI - Wellesley Racial Justice Initiative

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

<h3>A 200-level program<em>Next-Step Program </em>from WRJI</h3><h2>The Worlds within Wellesley: A Conversation on Power, Privilege and Intersectionality </h2><h3>About this ONLINE event:</h3><p>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,&quot; 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.</p><p><strong>Beginning in 2023, we will be charging for our 200- and 300-level programs. Please consider donating $25-50 or whatever you can afford,* to cover professional facilitation and administration, especially for those who are unable to purchase a ticket at this time. If the purchase price discourages you from participating, please contact our Executive Coordinator for a waiver: executivelead@wrji.org.</strong></p>
