White Privilege: Defining It in Our Own Terms

Author: Marcia Purdy (Iowa State University)

Abstract

White privilege is often misinterpreted and misunderstood; therefore, it’s often dismissed as a conspiracy or worthless theory. The term white privilege has many different meanings and understandings depending on the individual. By defining it ourselves, can we understand the definition? Join us as we examine case studies and share our own stories about white privilege to help each other come to an individual understanding of the term.
