Ja’Nina Walker, a psychology professor at USF and a member of the “Check Your Privilege” campaign team, first came up with the idea when she realized the challenges of talking about people’s inherent privilege. According the San Francisco Foghorn, USF’s student newspaper, Walker believes the campaign will challenge students and faculty to recognize the structural inequalities around them.
“We just hope that people use this as an opportunity to think critically about the world around them and challenge themselves to really consider the implications of structural inequalities and how they, as an individual, can help mitigate the negative effects of social inequalities,” said Walker.
Walker, along with assistant professors Scott Murray and Sonja Poole—have distributed shirts and fliers around campus, each exhibiting privilege-checking criteria. Organizers say they originally planned to continue the campaign for two weeks, but now hope to schedule a discussion forum in the spring semester to continue the dialogue.
