Overview
In Chapter 2, Marsiglia and Kulis (2021) examine how our social identities—such as race, ethnicity, gender, religion, immigration status, socioeconomic class, sexual orientation, and ability— are shaped by structural systems of power and contribute to intersectional experiences of privilege and oppression.
READ chapter 2 of your textbook AND review the SHARP Framework (Shaia, 2019) on this page: https://www.wendyshaia.com/sharp-framework
WRITE at least three paragraphs where you reflect on your own intersecting identities. Make sure you answer the following questions: (a) How do you understand the SHARP Framework? (b) How have your experiences with privilege AND oppression shaped how you understand yourself, others, and your role as a future social worker? (c) How have the concepts from Ch. 2 (e.g., intersectionality, social constructivism, power dynamics, positionality) shaped your reflection? (d) How does the SHARP Framework shape your reflection?
