It has been quite some time since I have been in the academic realm that being said this opportunity to be apart of this free/gratis course I cannot express my gratitude enough . I am approaching CRT course as a white female; 30-ish; blended family (pretty much a smoothie lol) with a small degree of college level Sociology Psychology & Chicano Studies. My personal knowledge (self taught research & academic education ) & immersion within the Chicano Culture (reside 15 minutes away from the us Mexico border) my internal identification with physical & mental disablement - a personal social/familia dynamic of conflicting racism/bigotry/homophobia has solidified my stance on addressing the issues on both intimate (self& family) & community levels.
I want to be as authentic as possible which is easier anonymously for me, and to learn how I can apply CRT not just the research and curriculum, but in a tangible way. NOT so I can be an "ambassador" or want to be an " authority of power". Rather to be a better ally -self advocate or when appropriate an advocate for others- gain access to resources & share them - address personal assumptions I have regarding race & ethics & intrigued to know what others may assume about me too- change... challenge or confirm the positions I hold right now. Yes I admit I have a lot of self interests for this class but just like the name of the class includes the word critical am hoping my ability to take criticism will be better. I apologize I have difficulty finding the right words and ramble, but after reading all of your positionalites thought what the heck give it a shot... better late then never!
