Assignment:
The eye-of-the-storm technique is an experiential, teaching technique heralded by Jane Elliot, and used to enlighten youngsters on the impact of overt racism and discrimination.
Micro-assaults are covert or subtle acts of discrimination that plague minority, dis-empowered or disenfranchised groups in our contemporary world.
Watch the following video on the Eye of the Storm technique. Then, reflect upon applying this pedagogical exercise to microaggressions.
Identify a current social cause (example: gender discrimination) and write a paper describing how you would implement an eye-of-the-storm teaching technique/demonstration to highlight micro-assaults plaguing a group.
Please identify the social cause (e.g., gender discrimination), the social group (e.g., women), the micro-assaults you want to expose your "class" to, and the strategy(-ies) you will use to induce the eye-of-the-storm technique (i.e., what will you do). Please be creative and concise.
More specifically, please address the following points in your paper:
- Explain micro-aggressions/assaults/invalidations,
- Explain prejudice, discrimination, stereotype, and racism, as well as how these concepts specifically relate to modern prejudice (e.g., microaggressions
- Describe the social cause, the social group affected, and the micro-assaults you want to expose your "class" to; i.e., describe to whom and how you will do "eye of the storm"
- Describe strategies you will use to induce the eye-of-the-storm technique
