Problem:
In this assignment, students will write a critical examination of race, racism, and intersectionality as it pertains to a particular BIPOC community and a specific issue that that community faces that they may be interested in working with or learning more about. These intersectional forms of oppression may include age, class, color, culture, disability and ability, ethnicity, gender, gender identity and expression, immigration status, marital status, political ideology, race, religion/spirituality, sex, sexual orientation, and tribal sovereign status that may impact the population in the experience of this issue/problem. Students Should Not make communities of color writ large as the community of interest. Students Should Choose a specific racial/ethnic community where one needs to apply intersectionality (e.g., IPV among LGBT Indigenous population; Black girls and the school-to-prison pipeline; end-of-life care for Laotian refugees). Students will discuss a specific theoretical framework through which to further explore the issue and identify practice implications for social work practice. Students should consider specific individual action plans, policy implications, and the application of social work values and ethics. Ultimately the paper needs to show us how the intersectional nature of the communities' identities produces unique experiences of racism and ways to disrupt it. Need Assignment Help?
