The White Savior Industrial Complex

In this talk, we will define the white savior industrial complex and explore saviorism at the structural, cultural, and individual levels within domestic and global contexts. From the personal experiences of a Filipinx-American student and a white U.S. American, we will share similarities and differences in how white supremacy has shaped our lives and community engagement work. In closing, we will offer guiding principles to ground us in the fight for collective liberation.
