Week 14

Overview of Week

As we continue to work for community and justice, we will consider diverse regional approaches to social engagement—from resistance to advocacy.   We will continue to address Native rights, as we explore and share how regional leaders (individuals, organizations or groups) are meeting the needs of the time. 

This module will address the following objectives:
  • Become an active member of the St. Catherine University community of scholars
  • Develop critical and reflective judgment using various perspectives from liberal arts traditions, women-centered scholarly work and Catholic Social Teaching
  • Develop excellent reading, critical thinking, writing and speaking skills
We will address the following outcomes this week: 
  • Apply an understanding of social justice, as an active member of the St. Catherine community of scholars, with a particular focus on dismantling systemic racism
  • Apply excellent critical thinking, critical reading and scholarly writing skills (including excellence in organization, voice, audience and sentence fluency)
  • Lead and influence as an individual, and in community and career through effective listening, writing, speaking and presenting to diverse audiences

Introduction to Learning Video


Critically Research, Read, Watch, and Annotate:
  • Research a regional voice that can add to our Module 13 conversation about Indigenous thought leadership meeting the needs of the time.  You might consider an article, an interview, a painting or other art work, a poem, a song, a documentary, etc.   You may research an additional voice on boarding schools, or you may research a broader topic like sovereignty, self-determination, global Indigenous rights, Native protest art, etc.
 
Critical Thinking Questions:

  1. What does your source contribute to the conversation on Indigenous leadership and rights?

Write:
  • Briefly explain why the source you found is important to the discussion on Indigenous Rights.

Post:
  • A link/image/video of your source, along with your explanation on why this source is important to the conversation (on the discussion board for Module 14). 
  • Your response to 2-3 classmates.
