Power & Privilege Resources

Over the course of BTFO, we will be particiapting in some conversations around power and privilege. These conversations are meant to prepare you for what to expect inside and outside the classroom here at Yale Divinity School. 

Included in this blog post is a list of resources that I’ve previously read or watched that I think will be helpful in framing these discussions. They’re simply listed in alphabetical order, not by order of importance; I think they are all great and I implore you to check out as many as you can before we meet togeher Thursday!
