Understanding Ourselves – Race, Ethnicity and Discrimination

Thoughts from the Values lecture on Tuesday 26th September 2017.

When asked about my knowledge and understanding of race, ethnicity and discrimination before the lecture began, I had a good understanding of these topics already after having looked into them, while covering topics in History at school.

However, I found it extremely useful to refresh my memory and learn more about how we may encounter different situations within our profession that deal with race, ethnicity and discrimination.

I did learn a lot about Patriarchy though, and where the different perspectives of women came from which I found to be extremely interesting, especially learning about how women were portrayed in Greek drama and how we can still see this kind of portrayal in some ways today.
