Description from Course Syllabus
Students will provide a one page (max) critical self-reflection using Clare (2003) to consider their own subject position. Grading will be based on the student’s ability to demonstrate that they are able to ‘dig deep’ and reflect on their own spaces of privilege and oppression and how this informs their anti-oppressive social work practice.
Clare (2009) encourages us to ‘dig deep’ to explore our stories of oppression and privilege. Reflecting on your time at Ryerson University, briefly discuss and reflect upon what you have come to learn about your privileges and oppressions? Given these knowledges, how might this inform your reflective process throughout this course?
Details:
Using the Clare (2003) article reflect on your own subject position. Provide a brief reflection on your own areas of privilege AND oppression.
