The Interrupting Privilege program centers on intergenerational dialogues and radical listening to conduct action-oriented research that interrupts current structures of power. Through stories, we feel a sense of agency when our voices are intentionally listened to, and audiences empathize with our personal stories when they are presented conversationally. To create these stories, we ask two or three community members to interview each other on a given topic. The interviews are loosely structured, gently facilitated, and can last from 30 to 90 minutes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

After we have received the transcription of the interviews, we ask the participants to read through interview, striking out what they don’t want us to consider, and highlighting the parts of the conversation they would like us to focus on. We then use their feedback to create audio clips and share the clips with them again for their approval. Participants will have a choice to remain anonymous, or to not have their clips shared publicly. For some, it is the process of the dialogue, of being heard, and of having their words be the center of these discussion, that feels fulfilling. For others it is important to have the story publicized as widely as possible. We honor their choices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We use these clips to ground the discussions during our Interrupting Privilege sessions. If participants choose to attend the sessions, they will be able to speak back to the way we created the clips, the process, and what they have been thinking and doing since the interviews.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYou \u2019re the Whitest Black Person I Know\u201d: SpeakingBack to Microaggressions Through the Poetics of Interruption<\/strong><\/a><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

ABSTRACT
Anti-Black and anti-woman animus is packed into brief and subtle communication exchanges including seemingly mundane moments like jokes and compliments. The lasting negative effects of microaggressions call for what we deem poetics of interruption, a Black feminist intervention that dynamically responds to interstices of oppression. Through the creative retelling of a conversation that leads up to and follows the microaggression \u201cYou\u2019re the whitest Black person I know,\u201d we demonstrate how the poetics of interruption holds interlocutors accountable to structural and interpersonal power imbalances through purposeful dialogue. Practicing a poetics of interruption refigures language with an anti-sexist, anti-racist aim to refute the passive-aggressive postracial language of microaggressions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
