Entering Communities Workshop- Intersectionality - LBC 201

This workshop is intended to help service-learning students think critically about their role in the community during the service learning experience, including their potential impacts on the community. The purpose is to help Tulane students of all backgrounds explore the context of service learning and the relationship between New Orleans and Tulane, including the ways in which power, privilege and identity shape their experience. Students will be introduced to issues such as power dynamics, systemic oppression, and the savior complex in the context of community engagement. Students will then have an opportunity to explore some of the knowledge, behaviors and attitudes needed to engage with communities ethically, horizontally and respectfully.
