Complete a two-page (~500 words, double-spaced, 12-font, 1-inch margins), excluding the title page and reference list, critical reflection on your own social location.
Understanding our social location helps us to determine who we are in relation to those who hold power in society, thus unveiling the privilege and power we are awarded in relation to others, or the oppressions that we face. As structural social workers, we should understand our own social location to question and challenge pre-conceived assumptions that we may hold in relation to the people we are working with in our practice.
The purpose of the assignment is to look at yourself from an “outside perspective” and consider how the interrelation of your family history, class, race, sexual orientation, gender, ability and/or country of origin etc., have influenced you, and shaped the opportunities that you have and the barriers you may have faced. The idea is for you to reflect on how you have been able to move through the world in relation to others as well as critically reflect on the structural social work lens through which you see yourself and your experiences.
