Week 5
This week, you will prepare a poster session, as you have been invited to speak at a conference. A template is included in this week’s resources, but you are allowed to be as creative as you like.
After completing this week’s readings, begin this assignment by conducting research on subconscious thoughts and feelings (implicit) about privilege, racism, and stereotypes. Based upon your personal experiences and observations, determine which of these you believe still exist today. Be sure to provide examples to support your findings.
Use this information to now create your own list of privileges you enjoy. Explore how it is different or the same as explained in this week’s resources.
Finally, consider in what ways have you experienced and demonstrated racism.
Your poster session should incorporate the following:
Provide an expanded description of the concepts of race, racism, ethnicity, identity, privilege, and stereotyping, and then explain how they intersect and interact.
Explain your own experiences with racism – interpersonal, symbolic, and institutional.
Explore how you have been stereotyped as well as how you have stereotyped others socially and professionally.
Examine McIntosh’s privileges and determine what privilege(s) you have personally experienced.
Use additional research to suggest ways that might assist individuals in reducing personal prejudices and stereotyping.
Support your assignment with at least five scholarly resources. In addition to these specified resources, other appropriate scholarly resources, including seminal articles, may be included.
Length: one poster session and reference page (References may be submitted in a separate Word document)
Your assignment should demonstrate thoughtful consideration of the ideas and concepts presented in the course by providing new thoughts and insights relating directly to this topic. Your response should reflect scholarly writing and current APA standards where appropriate. Be sure to adhere to Northcentral University’s Academic Integrity Policy.
