We have stated that our primary theoretical framework in this course in Intersectionality, which states that we should not view identity as 'either/or' but rather 'both/and' across different categories. From this point of view, we must work hard analytically to understand an individual's 'Standpoint' on the basis of their relationship to categories of identity. Selecting at least two of the major categories of your own identity, discuss how those categories have intersected to shape your own life experiences, and how your experiences may be similar or different from others on the basis of one or both of those categories. A good example if Sojourner Truth's speech "Ain't I a Woman," in which she points out that her status as a woman of color means she is not included in many of the conversations her fellow white feminists were having at the time.

Text: Social Identity Which three social identities do you think about most often? Are there any of these identities for which you rarely or never think about for yourself? What would people you know WELL say about your identification in this group (close friends, parents, etc.)? b. What do you think your society (the media, large groups, etc.) would say in general about individuals who identify with your chosen group? c. What do you think about yourself as an identity in this group? Write your story. Using your responses to question 1, write a description of your story as a member of your chosen group. When have you experienced dominance; when have you experienced subordination? Respond to Tatum's closing notion that "our ongoing examination of who we are in our full humanity, embracing all of our identities, creates the possibility of building alliances that may ultimately free us all.
