Thomas Owen's research examines what happens to people during the process of privilege loss. The privileges attached to age, race, gender, physical and mental wellness, sexual orientation, languages spoken, and citizenships held - among others - are often invisible to us until we lose them. So how do we respond when a relative balance of privilege changes in our lives?  How do we experience privilege loss? 

Thomas Owen is a teacher, author, filmmaker and advocate for peace, social justice, and an end to arbitrary inequality.
