The Privilege Eruption

Ishreen and Roger share the research and findings of the privilege conundrum survey around relative privilege and discuss how it's dependent on those we surround ourselves with and can be invisible to those who have it, and ever visible to those who don’t

It is possible to create a culture and systems for people to arrive at the starting point of the privilege walk if organisations curate privilege and enable difference to show through

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• If you are in a place of privilege your position is amplified, If you are part of a marginal group your identity is minimised
• The normative group has many ways to regain the norm
• The behaviour of the relative underprivileged can be triggered by many different factors including financial, social, and psychological, there is an intersectional aspect to underprivileged groups
• Those with less relative privilege in the workplace who are successful will have consciously or sub-consciously chosen to fit into the norm
• The organisational culture needs to curate privilege and allow difference to show through

BEST MOMENTS

‘The term white privilege has become weaponised’

‘It’s easy to hide behind unconscious bias training’

‘When the values and goals of the organisation are in alignment with the people of the organisation there is a sense of calm’

Marie joins Kami and Ishreen to talk about structural violence, how things are now and what needs to change

In a discussion that looks at the construct of domination culture and why it can’t and doesn’t serve us humans this is a thought-provoking episode not to be missed

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Microaggressions and structural violence are codified ways of suppressing others

BEST MOMENTS

‘Organisations now need to really step up’
