What's this blog about?

I teach several courses under the broad topic of "Multicultural Education," prioritizing social justice issues of access, power/privilege, & narrowing the academic achievement gap. I am a person of color and I almost always have a white co-teacher. We include topics, such as: racism, sexism, heterosexism, ableism, ethnocentrism, deculturalization, transforming curriculum, etc. This is a place where I post information that we teach; lesson plans for activities; and resources we use and/or which are shared with me by my adult students.

50 Examples of Stereotypes

These examples of racial and ethnic stereotypes cross nationalities and religions too. Asians, Blacks, Whites, Hispanics, Russians, Jews, Canadians, Arabs, and many more.  Listen to the music attached to each set of images.  Think about the following questions?
  • Did you recognize the music or image associated with the group?
  • Where (and when) did you learn it?
  • Do you have other images or songs for this group, or has your experience been limited to the visuals/music you see/hear here?
  • What happens when an entire group of people is only known by a particular image, song, dance, or symbol?  
  • Can a group of people be captured that easily?
  • What can you say about "Americans"?
