@935Curr I am very uncomfortable with undeserved privileges given for some people for political purposes. When those talk in public, I am curious to realize what virtues they have to work in such high raking positions unfortunately.

@cmachado3 @935Curr When we identify and appreciate students’ cultural strengths and promote their achievements throughout those strengths, we institutionalize diversity in our classroom. This is how culturally-responsive pedagogy functions. I really buy this approach!

@ragiahhassan @935Curr Malala showed how a woman is always pro education, peace, and prosperity in the society. In the meantime, she taught a lesson to the Taliban, the terrorists, how a woman is powerful if she fights with a pen and a notebook.

@A_E_K_student @935Curr @SophiaKBadhan Your retweet reminds me of my own critical experience with my mental health at the beginning of COVID. I shared the following post on my Facebook that time:

@935Curr I retweeted @shermannatalie. I am inclined to how pronouns in email signatures not only express gender identity but also play a pivotal role to sustain social justice in the workplace for employees through gender equality. Support LGBTQ!

[Human Rights Campaign Rapid Response @HRC]

Pronouns in email signatures is one way businesses are becoming more inclusive to trans and non-binary workers.

@shermannatalie speaks to HRC Director of Workplace Equality @TheBeckBailey for @BBCNews about other ways businesses can support LGBTQ people. https://t.co/dymIZQDoH4

@ronnie2565 @935Curr A humanistic approach to teach for transformation and equity! Humanity really matters regardless our positions and titles! Nice pedagogical agency!

[Sayed Ali Reza Ahmadi @SayedAliRezaAh4]

@935Curr Not only do Sensoy and DiAngelo (2017) believe, but also I believe that social justice is difficult to practice in real life. However, I intend to build my teaching philosophy on promoting diversity, equity, and inclusion, wherever I teach.

@ChloeLP16 @935Curr I experienced a use of gendered language confronted my mom in a hospital by a doctor in Afghanistan. I talked with the doctor seriously and he claimed that it was unintentional. I know it’s heartbreaking when employees are not mindful of their language and attitudes.

[Sayed Ali Reza Ahmadi @SayedAliRezaAh4]

@cmachado3 @935Curr @LizoonNahar Wonderful and realistic question! I’d suggest critical dialogues forged by women and about the women and any type of oppression and patriarchy. It functions as a very effective tool that the world understands through such critical dialogues, just like how feminism emerged in EU

[Sayed Ali Reza Ahmadi @SayedAliRezaAh4]

@MadelynACarroll @935Curr I definitely agree with you Madelyn. I believe that perceptions toward women is sometimes influenced by ideology in some Islamic countries. In particular, freedom for women is a concept which has been unsolved, at least from the sociocultural context where I came from in Asia.

[Sayed Ali Reza Ahmadi @SayedAliRezaAh4]

@935Curr I would replace these hashtags as #notoableism and #notosexism as two influential digital campaigns during the 8th of March every year in order to realistically fight for women’s privilege and human rights instead of false generosity that sometimes occur.

[Sayed Ali Reza Ahmadi @SayedAliRezaAh4]

@cmachado3 @935Curr It is very painful to see how Ukrainians, especially elderly people and children suffer these days. It reminds me of my family. War is immoral and anti-humanity!

[Sayed Ali Reza Ahmadi @SayedAliRezaAh4]

@samanthavasy @935Curr I am profoundly uncomfortable to think about Cultural Deficit Theory that why a privileged group should think or who gives them rights to think that minority groups deserved less privilege since their cultures do not possess suitable values.

[Sayed Ali Reza Ahmadi @SayedAliRezaAh4]

@samanthavasy @935Curr Whoever controls the media controls the world unfortunately. Media is a great tool to construct, reconstruct, and deconstruct identities.

[Sayed Ali Reza Ahmadi @SayedAliRezaAh4]

@LizoonNahar @935Curr Yes, I do agree, Lizoo. I believe that in order to candidly address forms of oppression, we need to formulate critical dialogues.

[Sayed Ali Reza Ahmadi @SayedAliRezaAh4]

@935Curr How racism intersects with ableism to produce oppression (Leonardo, 2009, as cited in Sensoy & DiAngelo, 2017) has been very striking to me in Chapter 6. This type of oppression leads to the denial of women of color, indigenous women, and women with disabilities for their bodies.
