Where Memory, Advantage and Emotions May Lead Us: Response to Roger Frie

Abstract

In my response to Frie’s discussion of my article I extend my earlier analysis, focusing on the themes of intersectionality, advantage, and shame. I examine Frie’s own social locations and consider questions of advantage and shame in relation to his locations. I conclude by suggesting that awareness of being advantaged should include humility, compassion, and openness to shame.
