Document Summary

Privilege walk: adapted from the new conversations activity developed by dinushika. Mohottige: consciousness-raising around personal privilege associated with race, ethnicity, class, ability, religion and sexual orientation, demonstrates: How social identifiers (outside of individual control) affect privilege/rights. Sociological approaches to race, class and gender emphasize: nurture rather than nature. One is not born a woman, one becomes a woman. (simone de beauvoir) Words performed in feminine ways, sex and gender not necessarily fixed together, gendered expectation that leads women to think of becoming a woman: connections between micro and macro systems in society. Is nation state reflected in the family: complicating discourses of meritocracy and individual choice/determination. The american dream- how does it condition how we feel about ourselves: intersectionality and the interlocking nature of social categories. It is not our project to determine whether gender, race, ethnicity, class or the economic system is the primary source of our oppression.
