How Power, Privilege, Oppression, and Opportunity Influence Personal and Social Identity
Complete the Social Identity Wheel activity sheet. Identify which social identity groups you claim, as well as those that have been ascribed to you. Feel free to utilize your own terms, as there is often disagreement about terms.
- Be as reflective as possible. Although no one else will see your completed activity sheet, you will choose portions of these to share in the discussion.
- Complete an initial discussion post sharing a few things that you are comfortable with from each of these activity sheets. Describe how the identity characteristics you share relate to power, privilege, oppression, and opportunity. Consider how personal and social identity impact your own life and share what you are comfortable with. There is no pressure to share anything that makes you uncomfortable. The main goal here is to reflect and begin to talk about this.
