9. FamFam Activity: "I Wonder" Statements
Click HERE to access Discussion Norms...
Bell Hooks/Laverne Cox Video Statements:
- "I wonder how many people (as bell hooks speculates) believe trans women have a one dimensional idea of femininity, when rather Laverne Cox presents the truth that trans women choose the level of femininity that they feel empowered by."
- "I wonder what bell hooks' notion of "cultivat[ing] together a community of risk" might look like practically, and how the manifestation of this vision might be imagined differently by different individuals."
- "I wonder why they talk about the subjects they do."
"Developing Social Justice Literacy" Statements:
- "I wonder how the authors would advise faculty members to continue to stand up for what they believe in if their opinions are discouraged from the administration."
- "I wonder how people reacted to this letter, especially those faculty colleagues it was directly addressing."
- "I wonder what measures universities go through to attempt to dispel any kind of social injustice they might be reflecting."
- "I wonder if critical thinking and engaging in discussion are considered forms of action in terms of social justice."
- "I wonder how teachers should best work to promote social justice in their curriculum and class discussions, yet also seek to encourage various perspectives and viewpoints."
- "I wonder why we are not taught these terms that are constantly used when speaking on social justice and allow people to go about using them incorrectly."
"Good & Just Teaching" Statements:
- "I wonder why the majority of teacher candidates emphasized the importance of pupil learning when it comes to teaching social justice, as opposed to other possible themes or ideas."
- "I wonder what it would look like to teach future educators not only what social justice is but how to put it in action"
- "I wonder why certain people believe that teaching social justice in schools causes teachers to ignore general curriculum needs and neglect professional competence."
- "I wonder how counselors could act as support for teachers to build "good and just" social justice education in their schools."
- "I wonder if all teaching - regardless of the field you're in - can be related back to social justice."
Moodle Blog Post: Due Sunday by 11:59pm
TO DO BEFORE CLASS (by 11:59pm, Feb. 5)
Read The Case for Reparations and watch An Education in Equality (10 min.) as well as The Color of Fear movie clips (1 hour total).
Note, the Color of Fear film is edited down, so the first clip you will begin watching will start somewhat abruptly. To provide some broader context, here is a synopsis of film:
"Eight North American men, two African American, two Latinos, two Asian American and two Caucasian were gathered by director Lee Mun Wah, for a dialog about the state of race relations in America as seen through their eyes. The exchanges are sometimes dramatic, and put in plain light the pain caused by racism in North America. " From IMDb
Using evidence from both of the readings and both videos, develop a response to the following prompts and post it to Moodle:
- What, if anything, that the author/actors said relates to how you view the world or have experienced things in your life? Where are you positioned in the concept of "the need for reparations?" How would such reparations affect you (and your family) personally? What connections do you see between these reparations and your definition of education presented last week? In other words, what was a window and what was a mirror for you?
- Choose one thing that was said in the Color of Fear video that really impacted you (positively or negatively). What was it? How did it make you feel? What, if anything, did you learn from the comment? What do you wish you could ask the actor who said it?
