1. Review the latest Census data (http://www.census.gov) related to educational attainment, race/ethnicity, gender, and class. What conclusions can you draw about intersectionality from what you find? Does everyone have an equal opportunity to further their education? If not, what social structures are in place to affect opportunity?
2. Research mental health disparities in your home state and identify any intersectionality you may find with class and ethnicity/race. What programs or policies are in place to minimize the disparity?
DISCUSSION 1
· Review the latest Census data (http://www.census.gov) related to educational attainment, race/ethnicity, gender, and class.
· What conclusions can you draw about intersectionality from what you find?
· Does everyone have an equal opportunity to further their education?
· If not, what social structures are in place to affect opportunity?
When completing each of your discussion assignments, I will look for:
1. The main response for each discussion is 100+ words.
2. When you interact with classmates, those posts need to be 75+ words.
3. Utilize/mention source or class material to guide your main responses.
4. Add to the discussion when responding to classmates. (add a source, ask questions, explain differences/similarities)
Remember, you get one grade for the main post response to the forum and one grade for your participation responses. See guidelines below:
Classroom Guidelines Regarding Discussion Activity for Participation:
1. Follow-up responses to classmates initial answers or responses that integrate course theories with a practical application of the subject, offering a personal observation or experience, or referencing real-world examples, current events, or presenting current research on the topic.
2. Classroom interaction demonstrating deeper or broader thoughts beyond rephrasing what the textbook has presented on the topic.
3. Responses encouraging further discussion and ongoing dialogue with other students and the instructor in the class.
4. Asking additional, relevant questions about the week’s topic.
5. The referencing and citing of scholarly work is encouraged to support the idea that is being presented in the participation discussion (check the syllabus or instructor for specific requirements).
6. Communications that are presented in a professional and supportive manner, and with respectful tone.
