Discussion : Issues of Privilege, Oppression and Intersectionality in Everyday Life

To better understand how issues of intersectional inequality happen in everyday life, consider the following question, by Saturday:

According to this weeks readings, #19 Williams, "Shopping as Symbolic Interaction and #42 Wingfield, "Racializing the Glass Escalator:

Reconsidering Men's Experiences With Women's Work," how did race, gender, and/or class inequality affect the experience of toy store workers and shoppers (gender/race) and nurses (gender/race)?

Remember that the strongest responses will directly and specifically reference module material, including specific terminology that's relevant to the discussion.

After you post your response, your classmates' responses will become available.

Respond to at least one of your classmates' posts by Sunday, noting one or more of the following:

1. A specific point they made that you think is particularly relevant

2. A specific point they made that you (respectfully) disagree with

3. Something else they may want to consider in their analysis

Review the netiquette guidelines from Module 1 and the discussion board participation grading rubric in the syllabus, and remember to be as clear and specific as possible in your post and your responses:

• Instead of "You are clearly oblivious to the fact that.," "I think it's important to consider..."

• Instead of "I read somewhere that...," "Williams (p. 14) point out that..."
