The Interrupting Privilege program
Interrupting Privilege is a Center for Communication, Difference, and Equity project at the University of Washington.
Interrupting Privilege brings together students and community members from across Seattle for intergenerational conversations about race, racism and its intersections.
While most discussions of inequality focus on violence, disproportionality, and discrimination, we further the discussion by tackling how privilege intersects with race, gender, sexuality, and citizenship status.
A Community Radical Listening Session
Recording oral histories that address race is central to our work. In partnership with numerous communities, we record and magnify these oral histories through these Radical Listening Sessions.
2016-2017
Interrupting Privilege first began in the spring of 2016, when the UW Alumni Association (UWAA) leadership team approached Dr. Joseph.
