episode 2: How to Develop and Maintain Culturally Sustaining Relationships in School Communities
It’s critical for our schools, districts, and policymakers to understand “intersectionality,” which is a way to understand social inequalities by acknowledging how multiple overlapping social identities impact and oppress certain populations. Examples of social identities include race, class, gender, sexual orientation, religion, and [dis]ability, among others. Each category – race, gender, and [dis]ability – places a student at higher risk of discrimination or oppression. In this episode, Martin talks about how to build an “intersectional perspective,” which requires sensitivity, vulnerability, and a willingness to listen to alternative perspectives. Also, he discusses how to build and maintain strong relationships with our students who have multiple overlapping social identities.
