Sam Richards and Laurie Mulvey: World in Conversation – Conversations from Penn State

The 27 minute video features an interview of Richards and Mulvey , two professors who teach a class on race relations at Penn State University. After watching the video, research the topics in the KU online library. Reflect on your learning and write a 6 page reflection paper. Your paper must address the following questions, but should not be limited to them.

  1. Do you find it difficult to talk about race? Explain and support your answer.
  2. The professors make the point that White people have a more difficult time talking about race than Black people. Has this been your experience? Explain.
  3. Do you think honest and open conversations about race change peoples’ behaviors? Explain. How do Mulvey and Richards respond to this same question? Explain.
  4. Discuss at least three observations made by Mulvey and Richards that point to the value of these conversations.
  5. What observations made by Mulvey and Richards resonate with you and why? Draw on your own career and personal experiences.
  6. What are managerial challenges and opportunities both implicitly and explicitly discussed in the video?

Remember this is an APA and should NOT BE formatted as a Q and A.

Bring in outside academic research at the online library to support all opinions.

Requirements: 6 pages

Using at least 2 of the required resources this week,

In this week’s materials, we’re exploring key concepts associated with disability and disability rights. Something you may have noticed as we have examined different kinds of diversity in this course is that in all these categories, there is an assumption about which state is “normal.” Last week, we saw that many white people don’t necessarily see themselves as having a race, because white is the “normal” category. Because of this, the experiences of Black, Latinx, Asian, Native American, and other non-white people can be invisible. In a similar way, our culture views non-disabled people as normal and may make the experiences of disabled people invisible. I encourage you to consider this idea as you work through the material this week.

Using at least 2 of the required resources this week, and 350 words or more not including learning resources please answer the following questions:

  • In one of the week’s readings, Davis (2015) argues that disability is often left out of discussions of diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI). Why do you think this might be?
  • What does the term “TAB” (temporarily able-bodied) mean in the context of disability studies? What does this term add to your understanding of disability?
  • How might the concepts of intersectionality and privilege relate to the experiences of people with disabilities? Please give at least two examples.
