Angela Davis on Veganism. (2016). Retrieved from https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jBqC-E8EDeA
This video is a short clip where Angela Davis talks about food and eating being one of the next major areas for action because the way we as humans treat other animals is connected to how we treat each other, and that beginning to relearn compassion and empathy for other animals may help us learn how to feel that for each other. This video was helpful to me because it is very connected to the topics of the course, being food studies and activism and their connections. This video forms a solid connection between food studies and activism work, by noting that one benefits the other.
Ball Busters and the Recurring Trauma of Intergenerational Queer/Feminist Life. (2016, February 20). Retrieved from https://bullybloggers.wordpress.com/2016/02/20/ball-busters-and-the-recurring-trauma-of-intergenerational-queerfeminist-life/
This article was about the dynamics between older generations of feminism and younger generations of feminisms and the tactics that each uses and the language that each uses, and that it’s important that neither be dismissed, but to learn from each other. This article was useful to me in that it was talking about feminism and differences in actions and ideals, but there was much that was inaccessible to me because I didn’t recognize the references made to specific places, people, and movements.

Panera achieves “no no list” goal. (n.d.). Retrieved January 16, 2017, from http://www.foodbusinessnews.net/articles/news_home/Business_News/2017/01/Panera_achieves_no_no_list_goa.aspx?ID={EEE484BD-6D60-4EE3-900F-FBB4C719EE12}&cck=1
This was a brief note on Panera meeting a goal it had made to remove preservatives, and other artificial substances from its food, and that it had met this goal by checking the supply chain of its ingredients and insuring that their suppliers were not using the substances they had decided to ban. This was helpful to me because it was a food connected article that was talking about paying attention and being conscious of what is in their food and why and whether it should be or not, which is an ongoing theme of the program, and this article contributed to the applied learning component of this program.
We Aren’t Here to Learn What We Already Know. (2016, September 13). Retrieved January 17, 2017, from http://avidly.lareviewofbooks.org/2016/09/13/we-arent-here-to-learn-what-we-know-we-already-know/
This article discusses the process of thinking with the intent of asking thought provoking, critical, and conversation sustainable questions through a method of tracking the origin and development of questions, and understanding what the outcome of a really good question would be. This article was helpful in thinking about the seminar writing style of Evergreen and the type of critical thinking that Evergreen encourages.

DARYL BANKS. (2014). Angela Davis and Toni Morrison Literacy, Libraries and Liberation. Retrieved from https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zLR_TcGHzRU
This two hour video of a discussion between Angela Davis and Toni Morrison covered topics such as the privatization of libraries, prisons, and how education and knowledge can be cornerstones in resistance and moreover freedom. It was helpful in learning more about the discussions that have been going on for years, and learning about the many aspects of certain issues that different people with different experiences bring to their thinking and action.
Derr, H. (2017, January 17). Pink Flag: What Message Do “Pussy Hats” Really Send? Retrieved January 27, 2017, from https://bitchmedia.org/article/pink-flag-what-message-do-pussy-hats-really-send
This article was a criticism on the movement or idea to make and wear a particularly shaped hat to the Women’s March on Washington. It argued that the use of the stereotyped color pink and the close association of womanhood to ‘pussies’, thus vulvas, vaginas, and uteruses, was exclusionary to anyone who didn’t identify with traditional expressions of femininity (thus the color pink), who didn’t have the traditionally expected female genitalia (vulvas, vaginas, and uteruses), or who don’t have the right skin color to associate pink with the aforementioned vulvas, vaginas, and uteruses. This article was useful because it was another way to make connections between the criticized aspects of the women’s march, that it was not was inclusive to trans and nonbinary people and people of color as it should have been, and reading these criticisms fostered a deeper thinking on allyship, inclusion, empowerment, and visibility.
Pugh, A. (2017, January 16). The Misappropriation of MLK: Respectability Politics and Black Struggle. Retrieved from https://www.bgdblog.org/2017/01/misappropriation-mlk/
This article talks about how MLK’s legacy has been misappropriated and used to control today’s protestors with facets of respectability politics that aim to dictate what forms of protest, emotions, and actions are acceptable and reasonable to be taken in times of struggle. This was a very interesting piece to me because it connected to a lot of conversations during previous seminars and thoughts I’ve had about how leaders are idealized in a way that benefits the mainstream established powers. I’ve thought about this in terms of MLK quotes used out of context to condemn various actions, the way Ghandi has been idolized in a way that he was not in reality, as well as thinking about how this form of revising history has affected the view of other leaders and movements.
Visser, N. (2016, June 30). FDA Warns Against Eating Cookie Dough, But Not Because Of Eggs. Huffington Post. Retrieved from http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/fda-cookie-dough-flour_us_5774bf5fe4b042fba1cf2b6d
This was an article about a recall on flour because of E. Coli contamination. It made a point that consumers are expected to cook flour in a certain way that makes it unnecessary to treat flour to kill bacteria like E. Coli. I used this in my seminar paper to question the cultural expectations of safety, soil, and whether the expectations of companies differed in any way.
Lorde, A. (1984). Sister outsider: essays and speeches. Trumansburg, NY: Crossing Press
I read a section of this writing on transforming silence into language and action. It was talking about bravery in speaking out and how powerful speaking out is and why it’s necessary. This was very connected to my thinking on social justice and community and the way they are connected and important.
Silliman, J. M., & King, Y. (1999). Dangerous intersections: feminist perspectives on population, environment, and development: a project of the Committee on Women, Population, and the Environment. Cambridge, MA: South End Press.
The chapter of this that I read makes connections between military action and presence and environmental damage. This was useful to my thinking because of the connections it makes between the broad systems of military and environment, which is not an area often explored, and I think it is very connected to my examination of social justice, community, and education.

This article is describing some different forms of feminism, intersectionality, and ideas around feminism and practicing feminism. This is useful to me because I really enjoy learning about new ways to think about things, and especially for this quarter learning about new ways to think about social justice, feminism, and education is very much in my mission statement.
Curzer, M. (2017, January 16). How to #StayOutraged Without Losing Your Mind. Retrieved from https://medium.com/the-coffeelicious/how-to-stayoutraged-without-losing-your-mind-fc0c41aa68f3#.pfag00kb4
This article discusses strategies for keeping yourself from creating a ‘new normal’ out of the current fear and hate based political sphere. It talks about small actions to take to keep yourself able to feel strongly the wrong way things are happening, and to keep yourself able to put those feelings into action, even small ones. This article really hit home for me because struggling to keep from starting to feel numbed to the seemingly constantly increasing stress factors while trying to push yourself to be better and take more action is extremely difficult and reading this article felt well timed, important to my study, important to my personal experience, and it felt like a way to help myself cope without burdening anyone but myself.
Deon, N., Choi, C., Expinoza, A., Dremousis, L., Minutaglio, B., Quinones, S., & Jensen, R. (n.d.). Writers Respond | PEN Center USA. Retrieved January 27, 2017, from https://penusa.org/writers-respond
This was a collection of writers responding to the election, I believe a few days before the inauguration. Some speak about how to keep working, some about being afraid or angry, some about their action strategies and/or goals to accomplish during the new regime. This was cool to read because it focused on the personal aspect of how people are going to be affected by large scale political changes and what they’re thinking about and doing to cope with those effects. This works as a really interesting connection between large scale thought and the personal individual affects of the things that happen on that large scale.

This article was about the need for more representation of disability and inclusion in the porn industry. It talked about de-sexualization of people with disabilities and the problems it creates in culture when people with disabilities aren’t seen as full sexual humans. I found this article really interesting because it’s taking on an angle you wouldn’t typically expect, and exploring it. It connects to a lot of ideas and thoughts I’ve had on representation in media, sexuality studies, sexual repression, and sex education.
Sex-Positive Psych. (2017). What is Gaslighting anyway? Retrieved from https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B5jt6aKi_WE
This video was defining and discussing what gaslighting is and why it’s important to use the words correctly, as well as discussing some of the subjectivity that is involved with the word and the definition itself. This seemed like an interesting term to consider, especially in current political times. It didn’t directly connect to any other ideas I’ve been working with this quarter, but it did fit into my study’s framework well.
Psych, S.-P. (2016). How Can You Find The Courage to Be Authentic? Retrieved from https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3mqFExc8YcY
This was a discussion about the difficulties and challenges of being authentic and how and when the best times to work to overcome those challenges are. I find discussions about being authentic, true to yourself, living your truth, and any other applicable phrases really interesting because of the implications of visibly living in different ways than other’s might expect and what that means to each individual, to groups. I find the dynamics of those discussions really fascinating and worth studying for their broad differences and startling similarities.

Ash Hardell’s Videos are a combination of humor, art, peer education, and community discussion. They invite other Youtubers and artists onto their channel to discuss their various different identities, and they promote as many different voices and perspectives as they can with their influence. These videos are talking about language used around identity and expression, they discuss feminism, include slam poetry, talks about body image, microaggressions, and living visibly or non-visibly in various ways. These videos really connect to my topics because they look at a form of peer education, they include different ways to promote others’ voices, they talk about a really interesting set of topics and make connections to those topics within the videos themselves, and they form a media that a community has grown around. And these connections are really examples of the interactions I am interested in learning and paying attention to.

Barakat, S. (n.d.). Islamophobia killed my brother. Let’s end the hate. Retrieved from http://www.ted.com/talks/suzanne_barakat_islamophobia_killed_my_brother_let_s_end_the_hate
This was a TED Talk about the speakers brother, wife, and friend being killed in their home by a neighbor. It discussed Islamophobia, media representation, and the power media can have over public perception when the killer was first depicted as a neighbor having a fit of rage over a parking dispute where none existed, but the story changed when the speaker and her family were able to gain access via a friend and ally to media that would represent their stories. It also discussed the power of the allyship of the journalist neighbor that helped them gain their own power through media. This was a really powerful story and it makes a lot of connections to allyship, media, representation, violence narratives, and how certain narratives are normalized in different ways.

This was a TED talk where an artist is talking about the way they created and used their art to speak about racial violence, history, and culture. It was a really cool short talk about specific art pieces and how they were created with these topics in mind and the power that gave them. I found this connection between social justice, awareness, education, and art really powerful. The connection art has to politics and social justice is a really important and interesting dynamic to study.

He makes connections to how small mistakes can affect the lives of people in different positions of power and social hierarchy. This was a very cool talk, and it was very connected to my studies and the other articles and videos I have watched over the course of the quarter.
