- Smith (2013) and Joseph (2015) problematizes how everyone is implicated in how
systems of oppressions are embedded within structures, language, discourse and law

and the people who lived there before us” (DHR, 2022)
- Shifted in really getting at the fact that we need to focus less on privilege and more on
the structure that causes privilege
- They talk about the western subject like the white body
- Call in vs call out
- Being a bystander and upstander
- Not only confronting oppressive attitiudes/behaviour but also oneself
