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.

The Effect of Race and Disability on Sports Playlist  My topic is the effect of physical and intellectual disability on accessibility of sports. I chose this topic because I'm an athlete myself and was interested in learning more about the relationship between sports and disability, specifically pertaining to the Paralympics. I was also interested in this topic because my older brother, Patrick, has an intellectual disability and used to swim for our local swim team so I wanted to explore the effect on a higher level of sports. I connected this topic to these songs because when I listened to them, they reminded me of the information I researched so I wrote exactly how each song made me feel and how it related to my topic in the explanation paragraph beside each song.  Rise up - Andra Day: In this song, she talks about rising up in spite of the pain and fear that might keep one from taking a risk in order to achieve a goal; This relates to my topic because in my annotated bibl...
