About this event

Many anti-racism activists and scholars have turned away from using privilege as a framework through which to discuss oppression, arguing that it is a word that is often misapplied and used out of context.

This raises a lot of questions for many people who want to build better anti-racist practice: What does that mean for how we discuss racism in the future? What other frameworks should be be using? How should we understand the word privilege?

Joining Martha Awojobi to discuss this in depth is our resident decolonial scholar, Khadijah Diskin who's recent twitter posts have begun to reflect on the limitations of privilege discourse in anti-racist work.

Join us at 5pm on 14th December to hear this incredible conversation - you won't want to miss this one!
