@kiranwoods21 @psyc220 I love your field of interest! It is so important to effectively spread information, especially about men's mental health.

@JordynCrane123 @psyc220 It is so important to recognize bias in research, especially biopsych.

putting my career on hold.

[Ali Kallman @ali_kallman]

#CD7 @psyc220 In the future I want to be a mother, but I also want to continue my education and have a successful career. Our society puts pressure on women to put their careers on hold to stay home and raise their children. I hope to one day be able to have a child, without

#CD5b @psyc220 This image is an example of a handicap ramp on campus. This ramp is exceptionally narrow and somewhat steep. This ramp is not very accommodating to disabled individuals, specifically those in wheelchairs.

[Ali Kallman @ali_kallman]

#cd5a @psyc220 This image is an example of "inspiration porn". By saying the only disability is a bad attitude it is attempting to make able-bodied people feel better about their situation and that they have no excuses since a disabled individual is able to do it.

@MaddieRoever @psyc220 #cd5b @psyc220 @maddieroever I think this is a great point to make and I agree that having these displayed for a limited time makes it "special". It is so important for this information to be displayed year around and for people to have easy access to learning about disabilities.

@nelltuckk @psyc220 #cd5b @psyc220 @nelltuckk This is an increadibly important point to make. I lived in Ikenberry my freshman year and there was no accessible way for someone in a wheelchair to get from floor to floor, or even to get into certain sections of the dorm.

@GabrieleHersch1 @psyc220 #CD5a @psyc220 @gabrieleHersch1 I agree that there is very limited access to parking. There are very few handicap spots that are close to buildings and even the parking garages aren't very accomidating, as you pointed out.

@nelltuckk @psyc220 #CD5a @psyc220 @nelltuckk I think these images represent "inspiration porn" extreamly well. It is so important to be able to recognize when a disabeled individual is being treated differently, especially when they're being glamorized for going about their daily lives.

#CD4 @psyc220 While the feminism movement is geared towards women, this movement allows attention to be brought to other marginalized groups. gender oppression is something that all people could/are affected by, which is why it is so important to promote solidarity within groups.

[Ali Kallman @ali_kallman]

@Indiapsyc220 @psyc220 Agreed, I think its a great point that the feminism movement can also allow attention to be brought to other groups! #CD4 @psyc220

@cking7777 @psyc220 #CD4 @psyc220 @cking7777 I love how you use a specific example that we see in our everyday life. Such a simple difference can really say a lot about gender norms.

#CD3a @psyc220 When dealing with someone who does not believe that racisms exists I would explain the historical significance of racism and make connections to the systemic racism we see in todays society. I think many people are naive to the impacts systemic racism has on

#CD3b @psyc220 It is so upsetting to see that there have not been any immigration reforms made in last 36 years. We live in a society where things are constantly changing and it is mind-blowing how something so important has not been changed.

[Ali Kallman @ali_kallman]

@frankmrdukes @psyc220 #CD3b @psyc220 I love how you looked at a more positive example of immigration. It is so important to not think of immigrants as less than native born citizens

[Ali Kallman @ali_kallman]

@MegCassidy26 @psyc220 #CD3b Wow. This is eyeopening. It's so frustrating how the topic of immigration is one of the most talked about political topics, yet there is such little action being taken
