Values and Vocations

Congratulations on your research project and last Thursday's conference. If you haven't already done so, please post to your blog, reflecting on the following questions:

What did you learn at the Conference? To what extent did you learn from the content of your peers’ presentations? …from their example as presenters? …from the communal act of supporting them as a member of the audience? 

Today's Self-Affirmation of Values exercise follows on the topic of Stereotype Threat that we explored last month. You can review some of the research in this article. A more extended video than the one we watched in class can be found here.

For Thursday's class, please complete the Windy Path Exercise found on the All FYE Blog as discussed today in class. Please bring your path to class with thought and questions to share.

IMPORTANT: Attending the Social Justice Speaker Series on Thursday, November 17th, at 4:30 p.m. is mandatory. Rose Jacobs-Gibson will be the invited speaker. In preparation, please read “A High Price to Pay: The Economic and Social Costs of Youth Gun Violence in San Mateo County.”
