What is “Othering”?
We recently shared an article with you, “What is Othering?” by Kendra Cherry of verywell mind. Here are some key takeaways to consider:
- Cherry defines “othering” as “A phenomenon in which some individuals or groups are defined and labeled as not fitting in within the norms of a social group.”
- Othering can happen based on any number of intersecting identities.
- Othering “can result in the marginalization of people who are not part of the dominant social group,” and can lead to systemic discrimination.
- You can help to minimize othering by focusing on individuals rather than groups, recognizing your unconscious biases, and speaking up when you witness it.
