Peggy McIntosh, a nationally recognized expert on race and gender relations, will deliver a lecture on unearned race and gender privilege on Thursday, November 19, at 7:00PM in the Wood Center Ballroom at the University of Alaska, Fairbanks. The lecture is free and open to the public, however seating is limited.

McIntosh is the Associate Director of the Wellesley College Center for Research on Women. She is the author of many influential articles on curriculum change, women's studies and systems of unearned privilege. She is best known for authoring the groundbreaking article "White Privilege: Unpacking the Invisible Knapsack” (1989), which has been influential in putting the idea of privilege into the discussions of gender, race and sexuality. This essay, along with her other work, has created the concept of white privilege, which has since significantly influenced anti-racist theory and practice as well as other activist movements.

McIntosh will be in Fairbanks as part of UAF's Nanook Tradition; International Education Week. The mission of International Education Week is to expose the UAF Community to different cultures, countries and new ideas by providing educational and entertaining experiences. This lecture is sponsored by the Nanook Traditions Board, LIVE Program, the Office of Multi-Cultural Affairs, the Women's Center, the UAF Sociology Department and the Student Activities Office.
