Online Sunday Forum: Whiteness & Privilege, with Sarah Winter

Join us on ZOOM for our series of Sunday Forums on topics of interest to our members and the broader community. This week we welcome back NHLC member Sarah Winter, for a presentation on whiteness, white privilege, and white fragility.

Sarah Winter is a long-time Nokomis Heights member, former NHLC youth director, and arts educator based in Boston, Massachusetts. With a background in museum administration, nonprofits, and arts education, Sarah is passionate about arts accessibility, storytelling, community building, and social justice. She received her master’s degree in Art, Education + Community Practice from New York University, and holds a BA in Art History from the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Recently, in collaboration with NYU colleagues, she has developed an arts workshop in which participants explore personal lineages of whiteness and privilege.

Sunday’s forum will explore and discuss concepts of whiteness, white privilege, and white fragility. Participants will be guided through a series of conversations that begin to unpack the ways in which our whiteness and privilege function in the world, challenge ourselves to interrogate our own positions of power and privilege, and inspire us to become better co-conspirators for a more just and equitable world. 

Forum begins at 11:00 am and will wrap up around noon. We hope you will join us! Here is the ZOOM link:  https://us02web.zoom.us/j/82133005227
