It is important to remember most people have never heard the words "white privilege." We need to expand the debate and dialogue to include those who are not in academia or who are not already working towards social justice. It is important to create an inclusive environment where everyone's level of knowledge is accepted and respected. This is an environment where there is support and encouragement for everyone, regardless of education or awareness. This conference will represent a wide range of experience. It will be useful for those who are just beginning to think about white privilege as well as those who are actively engaged in the work already.
