June 13 (11-12 pm Mountain)
We've seen lengthy discussions about the position of women
in technology for the past several months, to the point where Wired is covering
debates about civility on the LKML. While it's been useful to raise awareness
of issues within the open source and technical communities, I haven't seen
anyone discussing why evaluating and checking one's privilege is actually good
for the individual. In this talk, I will discuss why it's worth your while to
understand your own innate privilege - or, as I like to think of it, 'stuff'
you get that other people don't - and how doing so will make you more
successful in your career and as a human being.
