Using Privilege Arbitrage to Increase Inclusion
summary
Argues that privilege arbitrage — consciously using higher situational privilege to benefit those with less — produces cultural change if practiced consistently. Tools include a six‑axis personal privilege profile (gender identity, sexual orientation, maleness, whiteness, family education, family wealth) scored 0–10, an accessibility-friendly cube exercise, and tactics: introspection, listening, speaking up for absent colleagues, and endure and keep faith. Claims measurable payoff over time, notes US bias and methodological limits.
