Question:
- How does your current unique set of intersecting identities and social locations (the various aspects of your personal or social identity) position you in relation to power, privileges, and inequities of the particular society you are in now? This will likely be a mix for most people as in some areas of their lives, individuals might face discrimination whereas in other areas, they might have privilege. Keep in mind that having privilege in a certain area of life doesn't mean your life isn't or hasn't been difficult, it just means that particular area of your life is not one of the reasons it has been difficult- for example, someone born into a working class family might be have faced inequalities and discrimination because of classism but if that person was able to walk, they would be privileged in the sense that ableism would not have been an area in their life in which they face discrimination in the same way a person who uses a wheelchair might. How would your unique configuration of life privileges and challenges be different if you had been born in a different society, socio-economic class, family structure, etc?
