Discuss White Privilege

These posts highlight analysis from an anthropologist known as Discuss White Privilege or DWP. Discuss White Privilege once commented extensively on the old Savage Minds blog, wrote one guest post, and has also commented on this blog. She appears in one of the most-shared posts on this blog, Starbucks Enlightenment: Is Anthropology Better than Starbucks?

These posts are the relatively raw versions of email or text communications I have had with Discuss White Privilege, who was once a student in a prominent anthropology graduate school program, but is now in exile outside the United States.

The best accounts of what happened to Discuss White Privilege in graduate school are posted in two Twitter threads:

1 / THREAD / Shortly after the story of Harvard anthro dept’s 3 sexual harassers broke, we were contacted by a Black anthropologist whose experiences of bullying, harassment & abuse at a top UC anthro grad program have been routinely silenced for years.
