How do you experience privilege and marginalization? I experience privilege because I am white, heterosexual. Everywhere I go almost everyone looks like me and I blend in. I don't "stand out in the crowd". I experience Marginalization because I am a women. Many men still see our gender as not being able to do certain things as well as they can and we are not paid as much as our male counterparts doing the same job. In our curriculum many of the lessons are around white characters and their lives. If given the opportunity I can help make our classroom material more diverse. I would like to use more materials geared around the different ethnicities that we have in our classroom and hope that at least one of my students sees someone like them doing great things and it inspires them.
