CommodoreEaglePerson734Purpose: For this project, you will be exploring your identity…Purpose: For this project, you will be exploring your identity through an intersectionality lens. You will be specifically examining your social location within the dominant culture and how this affects who you are and who you are perceived to be by others. You must be able to talk from an intersectionality perspective specifically about your experiences of privilege/status, power, race/ethnicity, class, gender, and sexuality/sexual orientation, ability status, religion, etc. Without understanding who you are, how can you understand someone else? The goal is for you to understand who you are as a cultured being so you are better prepared to work with someone who is different from you.Instructions: Design a mask with an intersectional analysis that reflects your understanding of your social location related to power and privilege. You can be as creative as you would like in creating your mask. Keep in mind: Your presentation can be between 5 and 10 minutes long. This means you need to plan what you will say, and when you present, it should be obvious to your audience that you have spent time rehearsing for your presentation.Here are the guidelines for what to include on your mask:Your mask can be made from papier mâché, and you can use Microsoft Word, Microsoft Photoshop, Canva, or any creative software to make your mask. The idea is to be creative!The outer part of the mask should reflect how others perceive you. Think about words, phrases, concrete objects, and other representations that symbolize who others perceive you to be. Then place these items on the outer side of your mask.The inner part of the mask should reflect how you see yourself. Once again, think about words, phrases, concrete objects, and other representations that symbolize who you are. Place these items on the inside of your mask.Examples of student masksPlease address the following items in your presentation:Specifically, examine how the items you placed on both sides reflect key terms and understandings discussed in both the readings and class discussion over the term.Reflect on the interactional experience and intersectionality of identity; that is, examine how others perceive you and the effects of that perception on your life experiences, even if your own perceptions differ. Allow yourself to be creative.How does this critical self-evaluation help you to understand or further your understanding of other marginalized and oppressed groups? How does this impact your ability to deliver services to diverse populations?Social SciencePsychology
