Assessment 1 This assessment has two parts. It requires you to (1) write a short biographical account of your emerging personal awareness of difference and diversity, and (2) write a critical reflection on this account. Details about the two sections are below. BIOGRAPHY (up to 300-words): In Workshop 1, you will have an opportunity to discuss a personal experience of difference and diversity in small groups. You will then be given time to write a biography, which should be no more than one A4 page in length. Your biography shouldDescribe a moment or series of thematically related moments in your life where you became aware that you or someone else were different from others based on an aspect of identity (e.g., sex, gender, sexuality, race, ethnicity, Aboriginality, class, dis/ability, faith, age, etc.). Please note that you are required to submit your biography with your reflection, but your biography will not be assessed. REFLECTION (500 words): Your biography will form the basis for a critical reflection. Your critical reflection should clearly identify the aspect of identity you have chosen to focus on and discuss how discrimination, marginalisation, privilege, opportunity, equality, equity, or freedom (choose one) feature in your biography. Your discussion should draw connections to the ways in which familial, social, cultural, political, religious, or historical practices (choose one or two) have shaped the experience of difference and diversity you described in your biography. In your reflection, you are required to cite one academic reference.
