Jennings "Not a Lame Male Pig" (We know that already)

In a recap with hip hop professor John Jennings, he shared that Peggy Mcintosh was a pioneer in the study of "whiteness." "You have to add her to the list of scholars," he said referring to the list of professors currently studying the subject.

Mcintosh is a feminist and anti-racist activist. She's also director of the S.E.E.D project, on Inclusive Curriculum. Her work "White Privilege and Male Privilege: A Personal Account of Coming to See Correspondence through Work in Women's Studies" was pivotal in framing the discussion on privilege.
