Preparation
Please consider the following to help guide your personal reflections:
Week 1: What did you take away from Moreton-Robinson and Walter's paper regarding Indigenous methodologies?
Week 2: Please reflect upon the concept of whiteness using the following questions to guide you.:
How did the notion of white privilege make you feel and why do you think you felt that way?
Was there any one part or argument in the article by Walter et al. (2011) that left a real impression on you (and why)? A good idea here might be to include a direct quote from the article and then unpack your thoughts in your reflective your reflective journal.
