Your Identity Profile

My Social Identity Portrait

Who Are You?

Edit

Back in Chapter 3 of The Anti-Bias Education text, we focused on becoming an Anti-Bias teacher. In Chapter 3 there is a page called My Social Identities Portrait.

Use this worksheet to find out more about your own social identity.

You will identify different attributes of yourself, like race, gender, religion, sexual orientation, language, body type, family structure, etc.

After you have created a portrait of your social identity, respond to the following questions.

1. Describe your Social Identity Portrait.

For example for me: I am a white female, of mixed European heritage, I speak only English, I am middle class, I have no organized religious affiliation, I am over 60 years old, heterosexual, with an advanced college degree, I am very short with about 5 extra pounds, I am healthy with no known physical limitations, I am married with two grown adult children and five grandchildren.

1. How many of the social groups you circled on the worksheet are in the Norm category with societal advantages? For me, I have 6 identities circled in the Norm column with societal advantages.

1. How many identities do you have circled in the column for groups targeted for institutional prejudice and discrimination? For me, I have 3 identities in the Groups targeted for institutional prejudice and discrimination.

1. After completing your social Identity Profile, describe how your responses to question 3 have made life more challenging for you.

1. Describe how your social advantageshave made life easier for you, compared to someone who has many attributes in the column being targeted by institutional prejudice and discrimination.

1. I am a Mexican American female, and my culture is huge part of who I am. I speak both English and Spanish, which helps me connect with my family and heritage. I am Christian, and a young single mother of two daughters. Being a parent is a huge part of my identity because it has helped become more responsible. I am a heterosexual, college student working towards my education to become a childhood educator. I am very short but healthy.
2. I circled five identities in the norm category with societal advantages, including born in the country I live in, heterosexual, Christian, a productive adult, and healthy.
3. I have four identities in the group targeted for discrimination. For example being Mexican American, home languages other than English, very short, and a single parent.
4. These identities can create obstacles in life because people make assumptions and stereotypes. For example, single parents may face unfair judgement and people looking down on them, even though being a parent requires a huge responsibility. These challenges can definitely make things harder, but they help me understand the importance of treating other with fairness and respect.
5. My social advantages had made my life more easier than those who face more discrimination. Being born in a country I live in has made things more easier, especially because I speak the language. Growing up in America has given me opportunities that others in different countries may not have. Even though I still face some challenges, I realize it’s important to treat others with kindness and respect.
