The White Privilege Conference - Global will be hosted at Ryerson University (May 9 - 12, 2018). This conference will address issues of systemic injustice and oppression prevalent in Canadian society. Constantly praised for its inclusiveness and image of progressive tolerance, polite racism and inequity are far more prevalent in Canadian Society than one can imagine. Thus, topics of whiteness and white supremacy are seldom addressed in an honest and intentional manner.
