#CD7 @psyc220 One of my big goals for the future is to go to grad school for speech-language pathology. However, graduate school reinforces classism, as it is already very expensive to earn an undergraduate degree, and then graduate school is even more expensive.

#CD7 @psyc220 ASHA and particular universities to offer fee waivers for applying as well as offer more opportunities for financial aid, such as GA positions.

#CD7 @psyc220 As a future graduate school clinician, one way in which the system of oppression can be dismantled is by amplifying the voices of POC SLP students as well as petitioning

@milanohrjmu @psyc220 #CD7 @psyc220 when in reality that is not generalizable to the population as a whole.

[Sami Johnson @samipsych]

@milanohrjmu @psyc220 #CD7 @psyc220 This is a really great point! We live in such a diverse country, and I think sometimes the samples used in research are more reflective of singular populations, such as just white people, or just those who identify as male,

@jesszoggpsych @psyc220 #CD7 @psyc220 that is what is modeled to their children, and in turn how children think that they should act. As a parent, it is so important to be a good model for your children so that our society can become more accepting of people of every identity.

@jesszoggpsych @psyc220 #CD7 @psyc220 Parents have so much influence over their children and how they are raised, and can really impact their children’s beliefs. When parents show hatred and discriminate against others that differ from them,

@DaphnePfoser @psyc220 #CD6 @psyc220 When those two identities intersect, and the immigrant is a person of color, the discrimination and racism unfortunately have a tendency to be amplified.

[Sami Johnson @samipsych]

@DaphnePfoser @psyc220 #CD6 @psyc220 This is a really interesting intersection to look at! People of color and immigrants already face so much discrimination in the U.S.

@jesszoggpsych @psyc220 #CD6 @psyc220 This, along with the fact that women are still paid less than men for the same job, really just goes to show how far we still have to achieve in regards to gender equality.

[Sami Johnson @samipsych]

@jesszoggpsych @psyc220 #CD6 @psyc220 I think you make a really great point about gender identity and socioeconomic status, especially in regards to how female dominated professions tend to be the ones that are underpaid.

@egglestonsk23 @psyc220 #220ethics @psyc220 I completely agree that this is the ethic of community! There is definitely an emphasis on interpersonal obligations and young people’s role in fighting climate change.

We must include a pathway to citizenship in the reconciliation package. An unelected advisor in the Senate should not dictate what can pass the House. We must keep all our options open as we fight for immigrant communities. #WeAreHome

@SammiSitzman @psyc220 #CD5a @psyc220 Thank you so much for sharing that! Not having ramps in the front of the buildings really just serves to add another challenge for those in wheelchairs, which sounds so incredibly frustrating.

[Sami Johnson @samipsych]

#CD5a @psyc220 JMU has done a lot to make our campus more inclusive, but there is still progress to be made in regards to accessibility. In this article, two students talk more specifically about ways to make JMU more accessible,
