Letter of Motivation

(for the Black Sheep €2,000 seminar on Whiteness & Privilege)

[Your Name] [City, Country] [Email] [Date]

Dear Black Sheep Selection Committee,

I am writing to express my deep motivation to participate in the Black Sheep seminar on Whiteness, privilege, and structural power. As a white individual socialized within systems that center, normalize, and materially benefit whiteness, I see this seminar as a crucial opportunity to continue the ongoing, uncomfortable, and necessary work of critical self-reflection, accountability, and unlearning.

My interest in this seminar emerges from an understanding that whiteness is not merely an identity but a historically produced structure of dominance—one that is embedded in capitalism, colonialism, borders, knowledge production, and so-called “neutral” institutions. I am increasingly aware that good intentions, liberal empathy, or passive allyship are insufficient responses to systemic racism. What is required instead is sustained critical praxis: naming privilege, interrogating internalized supremacy, and actively redistributing power, space, and resources.

I am particularly drawn to Black Sheep’s explicit commitment to anti-racism, decoloniality, intersectional feminism, and political education outside of extractive or performative diversity frameworks. In a European context—where racism is often obscured through color-blind narratives, historical amnesia, and technocratic liberalism—I believe spaces like this seminar are vital. They allow white participants to do the work among ourselves rather than outsourcing emotional labor to racialized communities.

Through my engagement with leftist movements and critical discourse—such as abolitionism, climate justice, queer and trans liberation, migrant justice, and anti-capitalist organizing—I have come to understand how whiteness operates relationally, intersecting with class, gender, ability, and nationality. Yet I am also aware that theory without embodied practice risks becoming another form of intellectual dominance. I therefore approach this seminar not as a space for self-absolution, but as a site of disciplined listening, collective accountability, and political responsibility.

Receiving financial support for this seminar would enable me to fully commit my time and energy to the process, ensuring that economic barriers do not limit participation in transformative political education. I am committed to carrying the insights from this seminar into my future organizing, community work, and daily life—remaining open to critique, correction, and continuous learning.

Thank you for creating and sustaining a space that challenges complacency and recenters justice, solidarity, and radical care. I would be honored to take part in this seminar and to contribute with humility, seriousness, and openness.

In solidarity, [Your Name]

I doubt if you would enjoy the course-work all that much.

Probably not worth the effort.
