Abstract
This paper presents a conceptualization of deconstructing privilege. It includes a discussion of the manifestations, determinants, and triarchy of privilege. The absence of the voice of dominant members in the discussion surrounding privilege results in further objectification of others. Strategies are offered for use in adult education to examine privilege and implications for practice.Keywords
