S2E3. Acknowledging Your Privilege

S2E3. Acknowledging Your Privilege

“You don’t necessarily have to do anything once you acknowledge your privilege," writes Roxanne Gay in Bad Feminist. What does it mean to acknowledge our privilege? What will happen once we do? Those are the questions we asked Professor Stephen Scharper in an interview. Acknowledging our privilege may be the first step in becoming both self-aware and understanding of the lived experiences of others.
