HI THERE TUMBLR

have to write an essay on compulsory heterosexuality, racism, sexism, class, homophobia, masculinity, and any other form of oppression (ableism…?) and how this impacts on my professional role as a youth worker.

I am also writing about power in my personal and professional life - so my socio/economical power as a white middle class woman - but also other aspects of power, for example ‘Expert power’ - french and raven.

And finally, how I would go about enhancing empowerment and challenging oppression - ie; consciousness raising.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. I would love to be able to write about the intersections…and to make sure I include/cover/represent everyone/everything in the 6000 words I have been given.

yeah if anyone could point me in the right direction of interesting articles, books, zines, blogs or websites that’d be really awesome.

help me?
