 The teacher asked students to create an identity map listing their race, gender, class, religion, family structure, and other characteristics. They were told to circle the identities that hold power and privilege. In a related assignment, the children were asked to write short essays describing which aspects of their identities hold power and privilege and which are oppressed, in effect ranking themselves according to their intersectionality hierarchy. Okay, so certain parts of your identity can have power and certain parts could be oppressed? Is that how it works?
