Social Identity 101

The first step in the social change process is self-reflection. Our Social Identity 101 workshop offers participants a guided opportunity to dive deeper into understanding their social identities and privileges. Participants will learn how social identity connects to oppression, debunk the myth of reverse oppression, and identify ways in which we navigate away from defensiveness and guilt to leverage our privileges and/or power for advocacy and social change.

If you are in need of additional CART services or other accommodations, please contact Sophia Antoun at Antoun.5@osu.edu or 614-292-2646. Requests made two weeks in advance will generally allow us to provide seamless access, but the university will make every effort to meet requests made after this timeframe.

Objectives

• Define social identity and privilege
• Differentiate between prejudice, discrimination and oppression
