Class Activity
Summary:
•Step 1. Do a privilege checklist from under Week 5 activities. Write 200 words reflecting on whether you think the privilege checklist accurately captures your level of privilege. As part of this, make sure you are discussing your social identity groups from week 2-3. This will be first person voice. Define your terms using cited definitions from the textbook. 30 marks.
•Step 2 (Choice 1). Read though some of the comments from the comments section on your checklist! Select 3 comments for closer analysis (need to select ones that fit the assignment). Screenshot them and paste them into your document/or write out the words. For each of the three comments, which of the elements of Internal and Attitudinal Dimensions of Privilege (from slides or textbook) are present and explain why? This should be at least 100 words per answer. 30 marks.
•Step 2 (Choice 2). Read through this Twitter thread on the reservation system in education in India: https://twitter.com/sankul333/status/1421011518104080385. Select 3 comments for closer analysis (need to select ones that fit the assignment). Screenshot them and paste them into your document/or write out the words. For each of the three comments said in RESPONSE to the original thread, which of the elements of Internal and Attitudinal Dimensions of Privilege (from slides or textbook) are present and explain why? This should be at least 100 words per answer. 30 marks.
•Step 3: Write a minimum of a 400-word commentary (excluding title page and references) explaining the relationship between oppression and privilege. You need to include at least 2 direct quotes. For example, Sensoy and DiAngelo(2017) discuss that “direct words said from the textbook” (p. 67). And I mean from the textbook, not a random Internet source. If you do not use the identified appropriate academic source(s), you will be required to re-submit for points. 40 marks.
