Project Proposal
Topic
White Privilege
I would like to hold an interview with my husband on the
topic of white privilege. He is a bit “traditional” and not very progressive
and I expect him to give some push-back on the issue. Hopefully, this will make
for some interesting answers/discussion. I chose this topic because, I, myself was oblivious the the idea that I was privileged and I want to learn more about how I can change that mindset for others. I am eager to see if I can open his
eyes to the racial disparities the world is currently facing. In class, I will
discuss how the interview went and if I was able to help my husband see things from my point of view. I am going to use and summarize the articles, “Privilege,
Power, and Difference” by Allan Johnson and “7 Steps to Understand and Talk
About White Privilege at Work & Home” by Dr. Karyn Gordon.
