I read BnB's post too. I recognize that while I'm not privileged in the sense of being rich & well connected, etc., I am extremely privileged in other ways, and certainly in the eyes of some people who don't have the same advantages as me. It does tend to be a mixed bag, as Mel says above. Anyway, thanks for making me think! loribethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09272814565916935113noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4129722175911979282.post-19933173229385405332017-05-26T06:12:23.692-07:002017-05-26T06:12:23.692-07:00Beautiful post.

Each person has facets of life where they are in the privileged position and other facets where they are not. A minority in one area of life (for instance, race) is in the majority in another area of life (for instance, religion), and we can't dismiss any of our privilege in trying to fix the areas of life where we are not privileged.Lollipop Goldsteinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01020874415819057995noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4129722175911979282.post-15692959218143753242017-05-24T07:32:48.921-07:002017-05-24T07:32:48.921-07:00I've been thinking about this for at two days ...I've been thinking about this for at two days now, and it's given me so much to chew on! Examining privilege is so important to understanding how we perceive the world around us and seeing things from another's perspective. I love that you incorporate this into your classes and now you have me thinking about ways that I can do the same (given the nature of what I teach, I already teach about identifying biases to an extent, but I can do a better job).BentNotBrokenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10151724076659555122noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4129722175911979282.post-2193387980692385602017-05-24T05:51:53.729-07:002017-05-24T05:51:53.729-07:00If you're actually listening to views that mak...If you're actually listening to views that make you uncomfortable, and encouraging students to do so, you have my respect.
