Introduction
I am very interested in the role that social structures play in forming one's identity and roles as well as how certain structures exclude certain groups/communities from access to resources and opportunities, while bestowing privilege upon others.
(Your "introduction" will be visible on the homepage.) Use this space to provide links or more info: What social justice issues do you care deeply about? Do you work with any organizations or specific communities? What do you do for FUN? Thanks!
I am very interested in how social structures construct one's identity and role as well as how certain structures exclude certain groups/communities from access to resources and opportunities, while bestowing privilege upon others. How can we restructure so that all people have equal opportunity to fundamental resources, and equal opportunity to choose who they are rather than be taught who they should be by social norms and conditioning? These are the questions and issues that guide my perception of the system we live in and I hope to examine them further with this group!
On my spare time I train in freestyle forms of dance, dig for music and read. Just moved back to the Boston area after six years on the west coast. Looking to get oriented with the scene out here and build!
How did you hear about Socializing for Justice? Please be specific so we know which websites, listserves or people to thank.
