Greetings all,
We hope you enjoyed our first race/ethnicity dialogue class as much as we did, and are looking forward to next week’s class as well.
For the journal assignment, due by email to us by March 16 at 5pm, we would like you to do three things.
First, for each of the following classes, indicate which of the hot topics listed you would most like to explore that week—and give that topic a score of 1—and then identify the next most interesting topic—and give your second choice a score of “2”.
Class 4:
- Racial Profiling
- Race, Culture, & the Media
- Race Relations on Campus
Cass 5:
- Race & College Admissions
- Race & Criminal Justice System Fairness
- School Indian Mascots
Class 6:
- Affirmative Action
- Immigration
Second, we would like you to write a 2-page testimonial about your racial or ethnic identity. Include in your testimonial response to the following questions:
- If someone were to ask, how would you identify yourself to describe your racial or ethnic identity? What group or groups would you say you belong to, and why?
- How has this changed for you over time? How do you think the terms you use differ from those of your parents or grandparents to describe yourself?
- What do you think influences the way you think about your own racial and ethnic identity? (For this last question, review the Cycle of Socialization article by Harro for ideas.)
Third, go to http://www.blogger.com/start develop a blog for our class. Add Jeff and I to have access to read your blogs.
