Cultural Interview

Assignment 1: Cultural Interview

For this Assignment, you interview a colleague about an aspect of their identity (race/ethnicity, class, sex, ability, sexual orientation, gender identity/expression, age, religion, or geographical location) that is different from your own. Consider what questions you might want to ask to learn more about the experience of living with this identity.

I choose to interview someone who is Hispanic.

To prepare: engage in a 20- to 30-minute phone or video conference with a colleague in this course and interview each other about a cultural or social identity. Create interview questions and ask about the intersection of that identity with other social identities.
