White Women on Campus: Methodologies for Exploring Intersections of Privilege and Oppression

• In Event: Roundtable Session 6
  In Roundtable Session: Microaggressions Across College and University Contexts

Abstract

This roundtable paper focuses on a study of intersectional dynamics of privilege and oppression in higher education through the lens of white woman-identified undergraduate students’ experiences in higher education. The study uses critical narrative inquiry and photo elicitation to uncover intersectional dynamics of power, and potentials for equity and justice-oriented interventions on historically and predominantly white campuses. During the roundtable, participants will discuss dilemmas that arise when studying the intersections of privileges and oppressions.
