‘Continuing on from the article an aspect of intersectionality-some students was introduced to intersectionality forged by black feminists’ fault in 1970s and 80s Crenshaw 1989 in how social and physical identity’s such as race class gender physical disability and sexual orientation intersects to create or can increase in severity bitterness or violence; aggravates bad feelings towards certain groups in society.’
Do we as teaching practitioners have to be aware of intersectionality’s and all its ramifications of privilege, discrimination, or oppression.
Continuing on from the article:
‘These are just notes from the article that were of interest to me-background reading and listening to expert talks exploring how the colonial project was associated with the mass exploitation of the natural world as the event progressed, we anticipated that students would come to understand how the global impetus to investigate and record the natural world was closely linked to colonial models of invasion and extraction.(Willcocks, J & Mahon, K (2023)
We provided a variety of background reading and listening including Ted talks to podcasts and academic articles to introduce the sensitive topics. It was important for us to acknowledge that the legacies of colonialism play out in a very real and violent way for many of our students at CSM and we asked these participants in the unit to be mindful of how discussions around colonialism may impact others contact warning content warnings were shared with students throughout the throughout the lessons alerting them to the potential for the event to raise complex and difficult emotions for those with lived experience of racism the event began with a short tour.(Willcocks, J & Mahon, K (2023)
Online Learning
Teaching tool
Teams were also asked to come to the event armed with one interesting fact and one image to illustrate each of the above points and were required to upload these to an interactive global map offered by the Padlet platform; time was scheduled during the event to explore the map while evidence was provided of the ongoing impact of environmental exploitation in previously colonial seized nations.
The tool
Site of the production who made the image where and how?
Site of the image; It’s a visual content and composition?
Site of circulation; where and how the image travels over time and space?
Site of audience, where and how the image is encountered by the spectator or users?
Teaching tool
What you know about who produced this object?
What do you think motivated them?
Who would have consumed the object when it was first published.
How has the object travelled over time? or across the globe?
Who do you think is viewing it now? And what are they seeing?
How does your understanding of global power dynamics influence your understanding of the object full? Does it make you see the image differently?.
Be aware of student health, teaching and learning.
Quote from article ‘we used a combination of text and image-based tools include padlet worksheets and an interactive map a synchronous learning, resources including short films shared via Moodle portal a synchronous teaching including presentations and breakout discussions hosted in teams to deliver the colonial colonialism to climate crisis event. Knowing how diverse our student population is at ual with high numbers of neuro diverse students we were mindful that choice or format is key to making information more accessible instructions given during online. Their training and knowledge sharing sessions were key to helping us understand the need to break content up into shorter chunks, schedule regular breaks and use the chat and poles functions to build a sense of community. All online teaching sessions were recorded and made available. This provided opportunities for students to go over material they have found particularly useful and to review in their own time.
Below, I hope the diagrams visually explains the process.
Intersectionality
Synchronous learning means
Learning refers to a learning event in which a group of students are engaging in learning at the same time before learning technology allowed for psych Renault nios learning environments most online education two place through asynchronous learning methods.

Conclusion:
All the teaching and learning methods, data collection; to be aware of student needs online; is a lot for us to take onboard when delivering a class to students.
