I went to an event on Diversity
that was by the social work department. The event was about diversity within their
curriculum as well as diversity within the department as a whole. There were
two professors that held the event. They were there to gather ideas on how they
can improve their social work department. The students brought up good points
about how the program is excelling but, also how it also needs some
improvement. A positive point that was made was in the social work class 324
and how it talks about topics on diversity. It was missing how to talk about
gender and politics topics. They were talking about how the females outnumber
the males in the social work, and they found it strange. I did not really find
it as strange because people still think that females are the helpers and men
are supposed to be the constructed “manly” jobs. Even though all topics of
diversity were talked about, many of the students stated a deeper discussion on
all topics. Finally, we discussed how the social work is considered liberal
democratic and never really opened to republicans. Therefore it can make those
that are republicans feel awkward in sharing their true feelings in the
classroom.
For this event I believe it relates
to the Ullucci article. This was about how people stereotype and believe the
myths about certain people or cultures. The event discussed above connected to
this article because it went over how people should be aware of diversity around
and to learn how to take it in.
