InstructionsExplore your biases, micro aggressive behaviors towards others, and the barriers you have and
foresee working with communities of cultural backgrounds other than your own. Distinguish
between different types of communication styles you were taught (and the inferences held within)
and how this helped you navigate the world.
There are 4 parts:
Part 1 (Explore Your Intersectional Relation to the World
Requirement 4-5 pages
Examine your life through a critical social justice lens. This is meant to integrate your
personal experiences with the framework of an intersectional narrative based in socialization,
oppression, racism, and privilege. This is NOT meant to be an unanalyzed narrative of your
life story or your opinions about the various groups you do or do not belong to. Please
provide an analysis of what shapes your perspectives, values, expectations, and beliefs as a
member of the various social groups you belong to.
When reflecting about the feelings you experience in your group memberships, consider the
things you have to think about versus those you don’t have to think about. (i.e, feeling safe as
a woman, feeling stressed over shopping and being targeted).
As each part progresses, you will explain how your group memberships shape and affect your
life. Remember to think critically. Describe your cultural identity and share cultural elements that
are relevant to your lived experience. Think about how key influences (such as family, friends,
schools, communities, ideas, values, your culture(s) and /or the wider society) have been
formative in your thinking about your memberships in the different groups. It may be helpful to
focus your analysis on one or two key group memberships (for example, race and gender) or to
select one identity in which you experience privilege and one in which you experience oppression
(for example, a White woman). Explain what has led your personal understanding of your cultural
context. Illustrate your response with real-world examples.
