The importance of stories requires critical consciousness to be effective — Dangers of a single analysis (Beyond dangers of a single story).

  • When people share their stories, does the audience analyze the stories that keep them comfortable?

  • We make more minute-to-minute decisions than brain surgeons—What ideologies are we using to make those decisions?

    • I.e. In a classroom, when you teach static electricity with a balloon and hair…

      • Do we consider Hijabs, students with braided hair, etc.

      • They can harm and be left out — Felt like they cannot do and participate in science.
