College American history 107 x
Description
Discussion Board Goal:
–to give examples about the experiences of intersectionality
–to use the course materials of intersectionality to demonstrate intersectionality in your own life
Discussion purpose:
–to express your thoughts and feelings about what you’re “witnessing”
–to participate in “collective witnessing” where we share our thoughts and feelings but also as a group recognize the power dynamics present and start to see the historical trajectory of the treatment of the “other”
–to participate in community building (which aids in retention, engagement/interest)
–to help you understand the intricacies of the multiplicity of identities so that you can better grasp the idea when we consider other’s experiences/stories
Step-by-step prompt directions– PLEASE read all of the directions before completing the assignment.
- read the pieces and videos on intersectionality
- Choose 5 things in the texts/video (3 from the texts, 2 from the videos) that resonate with you. You do not need to speak about each of the materials but choose 3 things from what you read/watched. By resonate I mean what surprises you, what stands out to you, what affects you in some way, what did you learn that you didn’t know before, and/or what did you already know that was enhanced by something you read here. Be very specific about the 5 things and share the quotations that resonates with you and tells us why each of them resonates. Please post this by Monday, February 12th at 1159pm. Please be sure to include the intersectionality post (see steps 4-6) with this post.
- Group A (ETHN 107) respond to 2 different people’s posts. Respond to as whether you agree or disagree with something resonating with someone else (i.e. “this resonates with me too because” or “this doesn’t resonate with me because”) or you can talk about how a quotation that someone pointed out resonates with you in a different way.
- Watch the intersectionality definition video and exercise slides
- Follow along with the exercise slides and complete your own exercise.
- Either upload or type in your results from the exercise into your discussion post. PLEASE only share the identity aspects that you don’t mind sharing publicly.
