A Year of Encounters With Privilege

This is an account of one White woman’s encounters with her privilege throughout a year. Through the work of critical autoethnography, the author confronts and engages with difficult conversations with her colleagues and friends. Employing writing as a method of inquiry, journaling, crafting, reading, deleting, theorising, and so on, these encounters are interrogated through theories of allyship and critical race theories. This is only a fragment of an ongoing work, the work of becoming, as Te Kawehau Hoskins argues, a friend.
