This document outlines key topics from Chapter 10 of Professor M. Haley's class, including understanding oppression and identity politics, divisions between groups, and paths to solidarity. It discusses campus organizing around issues like sexism and discrimination. Significant student movements fought for programs in Chicano studies, Native American tuition assistance, and LGBTQ rights. Lessons around cultural expression, privilege, and reproductive justice are also reviewed. Labor organizing alliances improved conditions for farmworkers and students.

For whom do we do diversity and for what
purpose? Decolonising diversity requires
interrogating how power operates in and
through diversity management. The
systems of power that can be reinforced
through diversity practices include
patriarchy, heteronormativity and white
supremacy.

Feminism — or really, feminisms — is both a
theoretical field and a political practice
aimed at ending the subordination of
women.
FEMINISM
13
14
FEMINISMS
Feminism is far from a unitary
movement. Rather, it is often
distinguished through its political
positions including:
1. Liberal feminisms;
2. Marxist feminisms;
3. Poststructuralist and
postmodernist feminisms;
4. Anti-racist and decolonial
feminisms; and
5. Queer theory.
WARNING: There are inherent
limitations in the use of
classifications. Namely, they
suggest a temporal and special
fixedness in each classification. It’s
therefore important to remember
that feminism is also a process,
with each category identified
being revised and reshaped.

Anti-racism is a theoretical field and a
political practice aimed at ending the
subordination of people of colour. Like
feminist movements, it comprises diverse
groups of people struggling to ameliorate
conditions for their community.

ANTI-RACISM
Anti-racism challenges white supremacy through
scholarship and activism that encourages love for
people of colour; especially, for people of colour to
learn to love ourselves.
This resistance affects organisations because unless
we love people of colour, we are not going to think of
them as capable, reliable, intelligent, creative, etc.

Observation Collaboration
This week you will complete an observation activity in your community. This activity will help prepare you for the Week 7 Assignment. This Forum is unique so read the instructions and point values carefully.
Write a 500+ word initial post that includes these components:
· Observation: 5 points
· Go to a public place and observe the people there for 25 minutes. What are the details of the location? Describe the general context (time of day, lighting, sounds, vibe/energy, etc.). Describe the people around you and their sociodemographic characteristics (age, race/ethnicity, gender/sex, socioeconomic status, etc.).
· Norms: 10 points
· Identify two or more social norms that people engaged in at the public place. A norm is a social rule. There are many norms that help to frame how we are supposed to behave in our daily lives, one example is gender norms (what are social rules we follow to 'be masculine' and to 'be feminine'); another example is standing in line (consider what would happen if you cut everyone in line at 8am in a Starbucks?).
· Concepts: 10 points
· How do these norms you observed in the scene fit with sociological concepts and theories we’ve learned so far in class? Some examples of sociological concepts we’ve learned about so far include gender roles and emotional labor. (What is a sociological concept? See below).
· Reflection: 5 points
· Reflect on your experience. How was this observing others through a sociological lens different from when you’ve “people watched” in the past? What perspectives do you think a sociologist can bring to our understanding of everyday human behavior?
· Active Forum Engagement: 10 points:
· Remember to write at least three 100+ peer responses. As with our other Forums, two responses need to be to peer posts and one response needs to be to someone who commented on your post. In any public scene, all of us will notice different things, and find different observations important or unimportant. In your peer responses, help one another identify sociodemographic characteristics, social norms, or sociological concepts that the classmate may not have noticed. Consider helping one another notice common themes in the types of public places you choose and your observations of people in those scenes.
· Active Forum Presence: 5 points
· Learner posts 4+ different days in the learning week. Initial post is made by Thursday 11:55pm ET of the learning week. Response posts are made by Sunday 11:55pm ET of the learning week.
· Writing Skills: 5 points
· Post is 500+ words. All posts reflect widely accepted academic writing protocols like using capital letters (“I am” not “i am”), cohesive sentences, and no texting language. Dialogue is also polite and respectful of different points of view.
What is a “sociological concept?” They are all the bold terms and phrases within the text, such as "socialization," "norms" and "folkways." Look at the bottom of the text page for the .
This module discusses basic information about diversity and inclusiveness necessary for preparing employees to work in multicultural workplace settings.

Synthetic fibers play a crucial role in modern society, impacting various aspects of daily life, industry, and the environment. ynthetic fibers are integral to modern life, offering a range of benefits from cost-effectiveness and versatility to innovative applications and performance characteristics. While they pose environmental challenges, ongoing research and development aim to create more sustainable and eco-friendly alternatives. Understanding the importance of synthetic fibers helps in appreciating their role in the economy, industry, and daily life, while also emphasizing the need for sustainable practices and innovation.
2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

• Dominique Thomas - Understanding Oppression and
Working With Identity Politics, Thinking About
Oppression and Liberation Key Contributors
• Zanetta Green- Understanding Division, A Path to
Solidarity
• Kiandre Nichols - Campus Organizing, Tensions on
Campuses, Significant Movements on Campuses, Labor
Organizing
• LaSandra Rivera - Reproductive Justice, Lessons
Learned, Privilege
3. Understanding Oppression and Working
With Identity Politics
Identity Politics
• is often used pejoratively and
may invoke negative ideas about
political correctness, conjuring
images of diverse groups of
people battling against one
another about who is the most
oppressed.
Identity Politics
• refers to a wide range of political
activity and theorizing founded
in the shared experiences of
injustice of members of certain
racial, ethnic, sexual orientation,
and other social groups.
Without community, there is no liberation...
Audre Lorde (1981, p 99 (165) )
4. Thinking About Oppression and
Liberation
Key Contributors
Iris Marion Young
• Identified the “five faces of
oppression”
• exploitation
• marginalization
• powerlessness
• cultural imperialism
• violence
Patricia Hill Collins
• Noted that the oppressions (5)
often take an interlocking form
• meaning that for women of color
face issues as a result of their
gender , race and ethnicity
• Causing the manifestation of
negative feelings that can result
in negative actions and a variety
of problems
5. Understanding Division
• What is division in a social context?
Social divisions refers to regular patterns of division in society that are
associated with membership of particular social groupings, generally in
terms of advantages and disadvantages, inequalities and differences.
Social divisions are important for individual life experiences and life
chances in the context where social characteristics provide the basis for
differential treatment, unequal access to resources and judgmental
evaluations. Social divisions are associated with inequalities and a
hierarchical order between categories or groups of people, theorized
through the concept of stratification.
6. Understanding Division
• Activist Suzanne Pharr discussed the idea of “horizontal hostility,”
which manifests itself as the fighting that sometimes occurs between
oppressed groups. Rather than working in solidarity, sometimes
marginalized groups may perceive each other group as the enemy.
• Aspects of Division “Divide and Conquer”
1. Race and Ethnicity (Working class)
2. Privileged and Less Privileged Groups
3. Marginalized Groups (People of color and the Welfare system)
7. A Path to Solidarity
• What is Solidarity within social organizing?
• Solidarity is the unity or agreement of
diverse oppressed groups to work as allies
on diverse issues and common interest.
The linkage between the groups can
expand the vision for both movements
until a point of collaboration is reached.
8. A Path to Solidarity
Examples of Groups Organized by Solidarity
• The National Women Conference
• Worked to make visible the common interests of third-
world women that can serve as the basis for organizing
across racial/ethnic differences and national boundaries.
There is a real benefit to publicly present themselves as a
group with commonalities and similar interests. Though
privately there may be differences, publicly the group
chooses to present themselves as similar. "
• The term “women of color” was coined by diverse women,
including African American, Native American, Latina, and
Asian women at the 1977 National Women Conference.
9. Campus Organizing
• During the civil rights movement and the antiwar movement, some of
the most vital organizing took place on college campuses.
• In the diverse environments of college campuses, students are
becoming aware of the importance of addressing the difficult issues of
interlocking oppressions, diversity, and identity politics within the
work they do.
• A group known as the Sexual Assault Task Force(SATF) confronted
issues of sexism. They found it difficult to discuss the connections
between sexism and racism.
• Researchers have written that the group members were resistant to
the discussion of diversity, stating that consciousness raising
related to their own racial, cultural, and sexual diversity was not a
priority for them. This attitude created a barrier to the involvement
of woman students of color and international student in SATF.
10. Tensions on Campuses
• Meyer’s (2004) study of LGBTQ organizing on a college campus
identifies tensions in their organizing practices.
• Authors articulated these tensions as unity and difference,
commitment and apathy, and empowerment and disempowerment.
Sisters of Dissent Out Daily INC
Lesbian issues Space for students who are
coming out
Issues of oppression and
attempted to build alliances
with other groups to contest
homophobia, sexism, and
racism
11. Significant Movements on Campuses
• At Pennsylvania State University, 1992, gay, lesbian, and
bisexual students held events to pressure the university to add a
clause concerning sexual orientation to its official
nondiscrimination statement.
• The movement to elevate the Chicano Studies program to
departmental status at the University of California, Los Angeles
(UCLA)
• Tactics such as sit-ins and a 14-day hunger strike were used.
• Protest at Michigan State University by Native American
students against a proposition by the governor of the state to end
the state’s tuition program for Native American students.
• Emerged from the Comstock Agreement of 1943, which
exchanged land for free education
• “Give us the waiver or give us the land.”
13. Labor Organizing
• Student/Farmworker alliance (SF) group
attempted to eliminate sweatshop
conditions in the fields and engaged in
campaigns for fair food.
• SF victory included an agreement between
the Coalition of Immokalee workers and
Burger King to improve wages and
working conditions in Florida tomato
pickers.
• Student Labor Action Project
(SLAP), hold the belief that
intentional leadership development
of students of color is a key
component of antiracism work.
• SLAP leaders work at making their
leadership development strategies
sustainable, including making sure
that students of color organizations
get resources within their
universities.
14. Reproductive Justice
The National Black Women’s Health Project(NBWHP)
• The 1st ever women-of-color reproductive justice
organization to address these discrepancies in
approaches.
• These organizations would reflect the fact that the
fertility of women of color had been continually
undermined by U.S. policies
15. Lessons Learned
Cultural Expression
• Can be a useful mechanism for
bringing seemingly disparate
groups together.
• Youths have shown this to be
the case by building bridges
through hip hop, spoken word,
& other performances.
• Food
• Dress
• Music
• Theater
• Can be ways to “liberate our
alliance- building energy and
talents”
16. Privilege
• The unearned advantage that some people in society
have by virtue of their gender, race/ethnicity, and so on.
• Privilege allows a person from dominant classes’ greater
access to societal institutions.
• Progressive organizers may choose to foster personal
and organizational awareness of privilege in their
practices.
