Operational Agreements by Robin Greenler https://padlet.com/rgreenler/vcpwml8zl0fnnvgc en-us 2021-06-15 21:47:14 UTC 2021-06-16 19:06:35 UTC hello@padlet.com We've all heard about growing pains. https://padlet.com/rgreenler/vcpwml8zl0fnnvgc/wish/1610650173 2021-06-16 18:53:03 UTC https://padlet.com/rgreenler/vcpwml8zl0fnnvgc/wish/1610650173 I really like this norm. I think "safety" can be an excuse to not dig into topics. And really, safe spaces are usually only safe for the dominant group anyway. https://padlet.com/rgreenler/vcpwml8zl0fnnvgc/wish/1610650495 2021-06-16 18:53:15 UTC https://padlet.com/rgreenler/vcpwml8zl0fnnvgc/wish/1610650495 https://padlet.com/rgreenler/vcpwml8zl0fnnvgc/wish/1610650657 No matter how uncomfortable you may become, you will always be safe.]]> 2021-06-16 18:53:22 UTC https://padlet.com/rgreenler/vcpwml8zl0fnnvgc/wish/1610650657 I think we were missing out on some of the discussion because a majority of the group may likely be "English-speaking as primary language" when we were discussing gendered language earlier. If English as a second language, and Spanish as primary~unique questions begin to be raised. I would like for us to recognize that we may be missing nuances of questions because of this social positionality https://padlet.com/rgreenler/vcpwml8zl0fnnvgc/wish/1610651021 2021-06-16 18:53:34 UTC https://padlet.com/rgreenler/vcpwml8zl0fnnvgc/wish/1610651021 yes? https://padlet.com/rgreenler/vcpwml8zl0fnnvgc/wish/1610651197

]]> 2021-06-16 18:53:40 UTC https://padlet.com/rgreenler/vcpwml8zl0fnnvgc/wish/1610651197 I would hope that there is no perception of positonality factor in this group. https://padlet.com/rgreenler/vcpwml8zl0fnnvgc/wish/1610651277 2021-06-16 18:53:43 UTC https://padlet.com/rgreenler/vcpwml8zl0fnnvgc/wish/1610651277 I like this one and would also like to add that I wish to learn how to counterbalance the stereotype I present in my class by simply walking in the door. Maybe by better understanding how my perspectives and reactions reinforce this stereotype? https://padlet.com/rgreenler/vcpwml8zl0fnnvgc/wish/1610651945 2021-06-16 18:54:08 UTC https://padlet.com/rgreenler/vcpwml8zl0fnnvgc/wish/1610651945 Ability https://padlet.com/rgreenler/vcpwml8zl0fnnvgc/wish/1610651960 I like that the term ability is included. ]]> 2021-06-16 18:54:09 UTC https://padlet.com/rgreenler/vcpwml8zl0fnnvgc/wish/1610651960 I once heard it said that "I don't have to understand what you feel in order to accept it" and that always rings with me when I have that "huh?" feeling when someone says something I can't identify with. https://padlet.com/rgreenler/vcpwml8zl0fnnvgc/wish/1610652153 2021-06-16 18:54:16 UTC https://padlet.com/rgreenler/vcpwml8zl0fnnvgc/wish/1610652153 I've had a difficult time changing my mindset as a woman and the one being marginalized to the mindset of being white and the one who has the power and privilege https://padlet.com/rgreenler/vcpwml8zl0fnnvgc/wish/1610652575 2021-06-16 18:54:34 UTC https://padlet.com/rgreenler/vcpwml8zl0fnnvgc/wish/1610652575 https://padlet.com/rgreenler/vcpwml8zl0fnnvgc/wish/1610652630 This is a constant challenge for me, and I look forward to learning with others to build the habit of reflecting on how my social position when forming opinions and deciding on actions]]> 2021-06-16 18:54:35 UTC https://padlet.com/rgreenler/vcpwml8zl0fnnvgc/wish/1610652630 https://padlet.com/rgreenler/vcpwml8zl0fnnvgc/wish/1610652677 While I have not experienced all social positions, over my many years, my social positionality has changed. Therefore, I always try to remind myself - remember when.]]> 2021-06-16 18:54:38 UTC https://padlet.com/rgreenler/vcpwml8zl0fnnvgc/wish/1610652677 I think another good "e.g." is "age" and the (possibly) related "comfort with technology". That's come up a lot for me this past year. https://padlet.com/rgreenler/vcpwml8zl0fnnvgc/wish/1610652864 2021-06-16 18:54:45 UTC https://padlet.com/rgreenler/vcpwml8zl0fnnvgc/wish/1610652864 For many white students I've had claim they feel unsafe when actually it's just feeling uncomfortable. This diminishes the true lack of safety for minoritized people. isutami https://padlet.com/rgreenler/vcpwml8zl0fnnvgc/wish/1610652930 2021-06-16 18:54:47 UTC https://padlet.com/rgreenler/vcpwml8zl0fnnvgc/wish/1610652930 this will take some introspection https://padlet.com/rgreenler/vcpwml8zl0fnnvgc/wish/1610653190 2021-06-16 18:54:54 UTC https://padlet.com/rgreenler/vcpwml8zl0fnnvgc/wish/1610653190 Im sure that it does, and I can develop skills to recognize this https://padlet.com/rgreenler/vcpwml8zl0fnnvgc/wish/1610653428 2021-06-16 18:55:04 UTC https://padlet.com/rgreenler/vcpwml8zl0fnnvgc/wish/1610653428 I think being a women in the sciences helps me to understand the impact bias (whether subtle or hostile) has on my own success. I think my male colleagues get the benefit of the doubt and the assumption that they are intelligent/capable, etc. while i have to prove it. It's exhausting. I don't want to create that same additional labor for my BIPOC colleagues. https://padlet.com/rgreenler/vcpwml8zl0fnnvgc/wish/1610653488 2021-06-16 18:55:07 UTC https://padlet.com/rgreenler/vcpwml8zl0fnnvgc/wish/1610653488 And.. https://padlet.com/rgreenler/vcpwml8zl0fnnvgc/wish/1610653835 And  I also think its important to understand the intersectionality of how all of our identities interact. So we may be privileged in some ways, but not in others.]]> 2021-06-16 18:55:17 UTC https://padlet.com/rgreenler/vcpwml8zl0fnnvgc/wish/1610653835 And age https://padlet.com/rgreenler/vcpwml8zl0fnnvgc/wish/1610653943 as I think we've already seen a bit]]> 2021-06-16 18:55:20 UTC https://padlet.com/rgreenler/vcpwml8zl0fnnvgc/wish/1610653943 Country/Place of Origin https://padlet.com/rgreenler/vcpwml8zl0fnnvgc/wish/1610654145 I think it will also be interesting for us to unpack how where we were born and the culture in which we were raised informs our perspectives. ]]> 2021-06-16 18:55:29 UTC https://padlet.com/rgreenler/vcpwml8zl0fnnvgc/wish/1610654145 Yes! We can all have implicit biases without realizing it. https://padlet.com/rgreenler/vcpwml8zl0fnnvgc/wish/1610654695 2021-06-16 18:55:50 UTC https://padlet.com/rgreenler/vcpwml8zl0fnnvgc/wish/1610654695 This is key. It's also important to reflect on how our social positionality may limit our perspectives, and highlight the need to learn from others' experiences. https://padlet.com/rgreenler/vcpwml8zl0fnnvgc/wish/1610655135 2021-06-16 18:56:10 UTC https://padlet.com/rgreenler/vcpwml8zl0fnnvgc/wish/1610655135 The best analogy I've heard is having a personal trainer. You wouldn't think your trainer was doing a good job if you went to the gym but never broke a sweat. On the other hand, you don't want to end your training session with a torn ligament. To grow you need to be in that "Zone of Proximal Development." isutami https://padlet.com/rgreenler/vcpwml8zl0fnnvgc/wish/1610655671 2021-06-16 18:56:31 UTC https://padlet.com/rgreenler/vcpwml8zl0fnnvgc/wish/1610655671 As noted before, age is at least a perceived social position that plays a part in all of this. https://padlet.com/rgreenler/vcpwml8zl0fnnvgc/wish/1610656451 2021-06-16 18:57:00 UTC https://padlet.com/rgreenler/vcpwml8zl0fnnvgc/wish/1610656451 One way I think about this is trying to use my perspective as a woman in a partiarchical society to begin to consider how other socially positioned individuals might interact with the world. https://padlet.com/rgreenler/vcpwml8zl0fnnvgc/wish/1610657104 2021-06-16 18:57:23 UTC https://padlet.com/rgreenler/vcpwml8zl0fnnvgc/wish/1610657104 https://padlet.com/rgreenler/vcpwml8zl0fnnvgc/wish/1610657635 saf]]> 2021-06-16 18:57:45 UTC https://padlet.com/rgreenler/vcpwml8zl0fnnvgc/wish/1610657635 https://padlet.com/rgreenler/vcpwml8zl0fnnvgc/wish/1610662178 As a slightly older female teacher (mom age!) in STEM, I'm the one that always gets the folks with problems coming to my office to talk.  I enjoy it but it becomes a burden too
