I greatly appreciate you connecting this session’s themes to your own pedagogy. You specifically highlight the issue of race and diversity when it comes to the question of graphic design. The Western canon of design (and, in fact, many creative disciplines) champions such a small sample of designers who are often white and male. This hierarchy…Read more

I appreciate you connecting the work we’ve done in this unit to some of the general “diversity training” all staff members partake in. It highlights both the utility and shortfalls of these required educational training modules. While they are well-meaning, they can often feel too basic, general, and forgettable. You raised an interesting point of…Read more

This is a very thoughtful piece of writing that balances data-driven insights with larger reflections.

I appreciate the way you dig into the data to asses the issues of disability, self-reporting and visibility. Talking about these issues in the abstract is useful, but being able to show the concrete numbers makes action much more likely.…Read more

Hi Jon, once again I appreciate the way you incorporate data into your more thoughtful reflections. Here you pull the data but question whether it can be trusted. This is a very important point. Numbers can be useful in evaluating questions of inclusive practice, but they cannot be the one defining metric and need to also be interrogated.

You expertly synthesize the sources from the reading list, weaving interesting connections between them. As a whole, you give a very thoughtful summation of the ways faith intersects with our other identities and the challenge of navigating that reality in western contexts often resistant to religious perspectives. I appreciate the turn to the…Read more

Hi Sheran,

I greatly appreciate your thoughtful words on disability, intersectionality, and empowerment.

You show great care when addressing the fact that many disabilities are not necessarily visible and that accommodation is a necessity (not a “good to have”).

You articulate the ways disability intersects with the multitude of…Read more
