Intersectional Discrimination in Education

Image
  Introduction       Hello, my name is Kallie Parrish.  This blog entry discusses intersectional discrimination in education. It is intersectional because ableism and racism combine to form huge discrimination. Listed below are sources that examine this intersectional educational discrimination from the perspectives of people who belong to different ethnicities and range in disability status.

I Am Everywhere - Race and PTSD in Media by Max Koch

Race and PTSD in Media Introduction      This page serves as the catalog for my Creative Social Action Project (CSAP), which focuses on the representation of PTSD in media (real with newspapers and fictitious with movies) and how race affects said representation. The intended audience is the general American public, preferably those without much exposure to veterans or service members with PTSD. This page contains a fictional short story demonstrating how damaging inaccurate and/or unnecessarily negative media portrayals are to those suffering with PTSD, shown through an ever-shifting viewpoint of the single-entity Veteran. Beyond this page, the short story will also be shared on Wattpad, a free publishing website for independent writers, where it can shared with readers and found by hashtags. This method of displaying my research plays off of PTSD representation in film – I'm using a form of fiction to display what I've found recurrent in fiction; Someone looking for a m...
