question 3. Providing student resources like videos or articles that address the issues of race, gender, and privilege as a way to inform the discussions of students and for them to be knowledgeable of the information. Also in discussions, you can create guided questions and prompts which could allow students voice their thoughts.

Question 6 : Torres mentions the risk of oppressing students if their identities and needs are not considered. What are some signs that students might feel oppressed in a classroom setting, and how can educators address these issues proactively?

consider intersectionality daily in the classroom
empower students race, gender, class

possible signs of oppressed students in classroom may be disengagement, lack of participation, signs of bullying

She says that teaching with intersectionality in mind means, “seeing your students as more than just the thing that stands out in the classroom". This means that in order to fully understand your students you need to look at the invisible aspects of their identity, not only the visible aspects. She also mentions that context is very important.

Reflect on your own identity. In what ways have you experienced judgment or bias? How might these experiences shape your interactions with others in a classroom setting?
