Whose Narrative? What Happens when Rio de Janeiro's Favelas Speak for Themselves?
Olin Auditorium
Typically it is the privileged that set a narrative and nowhere is this clearer than in Rio de Janeiro, where the city's favelas have experienced a 100-plus year legacy of marginalization. The talk will present this historical context in light of recent trends to greater visibility for favela voices and the new narrative that is unfolding thanks to communities' empowerment, strategic global communications and social media. The talk thus offers effective strategies for confronting privilege, social inequality and power dynamics in transformative ways.
What do Americans Think about White Privilege?
Dr. Paul Croll, sociology
Larson Hall, Bergendoff Hall
Do Americans believe white privilege exists? What groups are more or less likely to see white privilege? How do beliefs about white privilege affect other attitudes? This session will explore Americans' attitudes about white privilege using data from a recent national survey and provide a space for discussion about the significance of white privilege in our society today.

"No Homo, Bro": The Complexities of Sexuality and Gender Intertwined with Race in the Black Community
Denzel Woodall, Michael Rogers, Multicultural Student Life
Wilson Center, Brunner Theatre Center
One of the least thoroughly discussed topics in the black community is sexuality; in many families, you are either heterosexual or homeless. This discussion will attempt to pinpoint the complexities and motivations within intertwining sexuality and gender based on race, with a focus on the black community. One main issue being discussed will be the environmental effects on diverse cultures and how that ties into the walls between prejudice and peace.
Christian Privilege?
Dr. Jason Mahn, religion; Emily Stine, first year honors student; Hannah Griggs, religion major and Interfaith Understanding leader
Wallenberg Hall, Denkmann Memorial Building
Many Americans are increasingly acknowledging white privilege and trying to dismantle it. But what about Christian privilege? How does living in a country where Christianity is the cultural-religious norm affect those who do not identify as Christian? And why would Christians, too, be interested in dismantling the privilege they gain through their religion? Through presentation and conversation, this session will grapple with these and other important ideas.
Teaching in the age of Trump: Voices from the trenches
Dr. Michael Scarlett, Haylee O'Donnell, Katie Aquadro, Kylee Villarreal, Anne McBarron, education

Do “the Media” Elect Presidents? Exploring Mediated Citizenship and the 2016 Presidential Election
Dr. Ian Kivelin Davis, Dr. Carolyn Yaschur, Dr. Meg Kunde, Dr. David Schwartz; communications studies
Hanson 102
News is essential for democracy, so what happens when our news system fails to inform? From Facebook to Google news, journalism is changing, but new media also challenge the privileged role of the journalist. This panel investigates media, how it is changing and what must remain for media old and new to serve electoral democracy.
Trying to do the Right Thing with the Wrong Brain: Evolutionary Legacies in the 21st Century
Dr. Rupa Gordon, Dr. Ian Harrington, Dr. Shara Stough, psychology and neuroscience
Hanson 304
The pressures that helped shape our brains are not the same as those we face today. For example, our distant ancestors evolved preferences for sweet and fatty foods when such resources were scarce. Today we can find fast food chains on every corner. Similarly, early hominids lived in small groups that were linked by direct family lineage. Today a single city block can be home to hundreds of people from dozens of racial, ethnic, religious, and other backgrounds. Our brains evolved to help us quickly recognize threats, including potentially unfamiliar out-groups. Unfortunately, those mechanisms that once promoted our survival might now lead to bias against those who are judged to be “different” from us, whoever “we” happen to be. In this session, we will discuss several of these psychological and neural mechanisms, and how we might counter these automatic responses in a world where diversity is the rule, rather than the exception.
Invited presentation: Privilege and Social Injustice in African Society through Film and Literature
Abou-Bakar Mamah, Ph.D. candidate, French department, University of Minnesota
Hanson 305
From its core definition, which implies some particular treatment of an individual in relation to a mass or a situation in relation to other events, the word "privilege" poses a problem. Its meaning implies arbitrariness, which cannot de facto divest itself of social injustice. My objective in this presentation is to illustrate, using concrete examples and through the film as well as literature, how privilege functions as the basis of social injustice in the African society undermined by political cronyism and whose traditional hierarchical composition remains fundamentally ethnic and tribal.
"I'm not a racist but...": Lets get real and talk about the "but"

The Privilege of Being Able-Bodied: Examining Disability Through a Social Justice Lens
Olin Auditorium
The concepts of privilege, power, and social inequality are usually associated with race, gender, and sexual orientation. However, people with disabilities also experience their effects. This presentation will help you to understand the concept of ableism, a pervasive system of discrimination and exclusion of people with disabilities that privileges able-bodied people and disadvantages people with disabilities. We will specifically examine ways that ableism is manifested on college campuses and how it can be addressed using social justice principles.
Complexities of the Prison Industrial Complex as a Source for Entertainment
Keenan Odenkirk, Office of Multicultural Student Life
Larson Hall, Bergendoff Hall

I will give statistics/information regarding prison demographics, crime rates, and history about the War on Drugs and the industrialization of the prison industry. I will open the floor for discussion with several discussion questions. For the second half, I will explain the overlaps between the media and prison industry's, and how one can be used to benefit the other. The floor will once again be opened to discussion.
Why Would an Innocent Person Confess to a Crime? How False and Coerced Confessions in Police Interrogations Contribute to the Prison-Industrial Complex
Dr. Sharon Varallo, communication studies
Honkamp Black Box, Brunner Theatre Center
This session, a repeat of Dr. Varallo's 2016 presentation with updates, introduces the who, what, where, when, and why of false and coerced confessions during police interrogations.

Our Society's Rape Culture and Privilege: The Story of a Broken Lock
Psychology
Hanson 102
We all know the statistics of sexual assault on college campuses. But how does rape culture relate to privilege? How do certain pressures in our society contribute to silence, guilt, and victim blaming? Why are some convicted individuals given years in jail, while some are released after three months?

Exploring Seminal Moments in Black History at Augustana College
Samantha Crisp, Library
Special Collections. Tredway Library
The materials in Special Collections document a number of seminal moments in Augustana's history related to civil rights, social justice, and the lived experience of students of color. Participants at this session will have the opportunity to engage hands-on with unique primary sources related to topics such as the founding of the Black Student Union, the organization of a Black Power Symposium, a sit-in for racial equality, and a women's liberation symposium. In doing so, we will confront several questions related to privilege, including: "how does the historical record reflect systems of social inequality, and how do we address these gaps in Augustana's history?" This will be an interactive, discussion-driven session grounded in a focused analysis of primary source documents and images.

Participants will walk away with practical tools and steps to implement in the classroom, in supervisory relationships, and other areas of campus life.
Speaking of Privilege...
Dr. Jeff Renaud, WLLC (Spanish); Dr. Lisa Seidlitz, WLLC (German)
Evald 17-18
“Privilege” as defined as “an unearned advantage afforded to one group over another” is often discussed with respect to class, race, ethnicity, nationality, gender, sexual orientation, age, religion, ability... but is rarely applied to language. This open-discussion session addresses privilege from a linguistic perspective and explores its effects in three domains relevant to language--standard versus non-standard; native versus non-native; and monolingual versus multilingual--with each subtopic introduced by a short video clip.
12:30-1:30 p.m. Session III (or lunch on your own)

Invited presentation: What’s Love Got to Do with It? White Desire, Country Music, and Cross-Border Love
Dr. Lee Bebout, Department of English, Arizona State University
Hanson 102
It is common for racism in the US to be cast as synonymous with hate and degradation. Because of this, romanticized depictions of people of color can actively perpetuate white supremacy while simultaneously being difficult to address as such. Drawing Frank Chin’s concept of “racist love” this presentation traces the dynamics of “white desire” in country music to show how representations of Mexico, Mexicans, and Mexican Americans are used to express the logics of white supremacy. This presentation will conclude with a discussion of cross-border love—rooted in a discussion of other recent songs, participants will explore the possibility of music to build and express empathetic connections against racism.
Privilege or Partnership? Augie’s Ongoing Work with Alpha Academy in Jamaica

Microaggressions: Myth or Mirage, Fact or Fiction
Dr. Mark Salisbury, director, Institutional Research and Assessment; Katrina Friedrich, psychology
Hanson 305
The concept of microaggressions has become a hotly contested topic of conversation among advocates for social justice and critics of political correctness. In the spring of 2015, Augustana collected data from first year students based on a proposed taxonomy of microaggressions. While the findings suggest differences in student's perceptions and experiences, they also complicate common assertions about microaggressions and maybe even challenge the usefulness of the construct.

The Privilege to be Ignorant: U.S. Global Supremacy Behind the Facade of Democracy
Logan Green, sociology
Hanson 305
Recent domestic events have heightened Americans' sense of anxiety and many fear what lay ahead. This anxiety, while certainly justified, simultaneously reveals the ignorance, intentionally crafted by those at the helm of the political-economic order, of the majority of American citizens to the workings of the American Empire. This presentation hopes to offer a glimpse into "the corporate war economy," as the social scientist Carl Boggs put it.
