Privilege hazard

Privilege Hazard is a concept introduced by Catherine D'Ignazio and Lauren Klein in their book Data Feminism^[1],referring to the phenomenon where individuals in privileged positions remain unaware of their inherent advantages. This lack of awareness perpetuates societal inequalities and obstructs efforts to advocate for marginalized groups.^[2] Privilege hazard is cited by other authors to acknowledge their positionality and risk of misinterpretating others' experiences.^[3] Authors such as Felicia Pratto, Andrew Stewart, Peggy McIntosh and Taylor Phillips have contributed to this discourse by examining various forms of privilege hazards, including group dominance, white, male and class privilege. This exploration sheds light on how privilege manifests in different societal spheres and its implications for marginalized communities.
