Write your own story using these same questions and prompts from the Shah (2018) article.

full instructions attached.

Part 1:
1. For this part of the assignment you will identify a leader. This can be a leader you
identify in your community, your organization, school, etc. Approach this person about
conducting an interview for this assignment. Assure their confidentiality, change their
name if they request it, and inform them about how this interview will be used. You can
say something like: “This interview will be used for my class on global leadership. We
want to learn more about your own identity, your similarities or differences with the
people you serve as a leader, and how this shapes your leadership style. We are
especially interested in concepts of social justice and leadership. This will only be read
by our instructor and shared with a peer in class.”
It would be ideal to record the interview if they give permission. Otherwise, take as
detailed notes as possible.
2.Write your own story using these same questions and prompts from the Shah
(2018) article.
Bring your own testimonio or narrative in written form to class. Also bring detailed notes of the
interview to class. You will be paired with a peer to “workshop” and discuss the interviews and
readings together.
Part 2:
Submit a 5-page paper with your analysis of the interview and your own narrative. Compare
both of the experiences. Use the Praxis – Dimensions – Capacities framework from Furhman
(2012) (from Module 9) to organize your analysis. You can modify it for social work wherever
needed. For example, if the model refers to a school setting, apply it to your social work setting.
To help you analyze the experiences of people from minoritized identities, as well as leadership
and advocacy work, please make sure to include the Koshy (2006), Martinez et al (2016), and
Hernandez & Murakami (2016) articles in your analysis (from Module 10). What other
characteristics of leadership do they address? Is that reflected in your narrative or the interview?
How does a nepantlera perspective help you understand social justice work? Are any aspects of
nepantlera present in the interview or your own story?
