As a result of this activity, participants will be able to: 1. "Understand the ways their identities were learned and policed throughout their lives." 2. Problematize the "normalized policing of gender, sexuality, and race in social groups." 3. Recognize "the difference between messages [they] receive about their genders, classes, and races depending on what groups they belong to" (LSA Inclusive Teaching Initiative, University of Michigan, 2017).
