Intergenerational Conversations on privilege<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Interrupting Privilege program series brings together students and community members from across Seattle for intergenerational conversations about race, racism and its intersections. Through classes that include public lectures, readings, plays, and trainings, participants lean into difficult discussions with the goal of better understanding and disrupting racism and other forms of inequality. 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. We are unique in that we not only create spaces for intergenerational dialogues, but collaboratively generate tools for change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We are pleased to partner with the Northwest African American Museum<\/a> (NAAM) and bringing the seminar to our community.  Students from Garfield High School, Seattle Central Community College, and the University of Washington will join community members in community workshops at NAAM.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Recording oral histories that address race is central to our work. In partnership with numerous communities, we record and magnify these oral histories through Radical Listening Sessions.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n

Community:<\/strong> We work in collaboration with those who are ready to take on anti-racist work, to combat discrimination, and to create tools for action<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Methodology:<\/strong> We are engaged in co-created, community-engaged knowledge production, where we center the voices of our community, and involve them in all aspects of the dialogue and podcast creation process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Radical Listening:<\/strong> We consciously listen for the meaning that the speaker intends, suspending the process of meaning making based solely on our own point of view. We listen for power, both explicitly and implicitly articulated. Adapted from Joe Kinchloe (2009)<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
