The following image is a powerful tool that I find myself reaching for frequently when engaging in conversation and reflection about colonization, education, research or even technology. I have used it to spark conversation amongst my middle schoolers, many of whom have not yet engaged with the word “privilege” quite yet. It provides an opportunity for us to reflect on the things we innately possess, even without knowing it and the way our society has been set up to be easier to navigate for those sitting closer to the center of this wheel. This often leads us into a discussion of equity versus equality and why it is okay and in fact, important to acknowledge these differences amongst one another.
