Interrogating
Privilege
Whether it is
seen as a positive or negative influence in our lives, privilege
shapes our daily interactions with individuals and within our
social institutions. While privilege is often conceived and
analyzed in terms of race or class, this year’s conference theme
seeks to interrogate privilege in its many manifestations
-- including gender, sexual orientation, religion, vocation,
ability, nationality, size, age and other cultural factors where
privilege is invoked. We invite submissions on this theme or
other topics related to larger goals of the annual Multicultural
Conference.
Proposals
might address:
- New
definitions and approaches to the idea of privilege
- Exploring
a deconstruction of various forms of privilege while
creating strategies for interaction among individuals
- How
notions of privilege have shaped human interaction
historically and today
- What is
privilege in a multifaceted society?
- What does
privilege mean in the 21st century?
