Discussion Post: Contemplation
Question, process, challenge, and think deeply about how this week's readings relate back to you. This is a place to share your thoughts and feelings: let them be raw and vulnerable. In 500 words minimum (2-3 pages), write a personal reaction about how the core arguments or stories of the readings relate to your understanding of identities, privilege and systems of oppression. Choose and include 1 quote from each of the assigned readings/sources and write 2 dialogic questions. Be sure to talk about each of the assigned readings/podcasts in your contemplations. This assignment can also be submitted as a video, but we will be looking for the same amount of depth in what you say as we are in a written reflection.
Use these questions as a guide:
a) What feelings came up for you as you read the readings/sources? What stories and personal experiences may be connected to those feelings?
b) How did the readings/sources raise your level of consciousness around your identities, privilege and larger systems of oppression and your role in them?
c) What questions do you still have or want to continue thinking/talking about with others?
The response must include a reference list. One-inch margins, double-space, Using Times New Roman 12 pnt font and APA style of writing and citations.
