White Boy: Explorations of Identity & Privilege in Education Abroad

White Boy is an interactive presentation that hopes to shift the dialogue about privilege and identity in study abroad from solely supporting underrepresented students to finding productive ways to discuss identity and privilege with white students . Presenters will share theories of understanding various identities and case stories of their own experiences with students abroad. We will apply these theories in our session to find ways to start or move these conversations about privilege forward.
