In this interactive session, open to everyone of any racial identity, we will consider the construct of whiteness and its powerful influence on the culture around us, both at MA and beyond. Through a mixture of collaborative and discussion-based exercises, student leaders will invite curiosity, thoughtfulness, and reflection about who benefits from whiteness, whether being white is “bad,” and how any of us might increase our awareness of whiteness as members of a democratic society.
