Reading reflection 11/19

 Sicari Reading:

In Sicari’s “ Everyday Truths: Reflection from a Woman Writing Center Professional ,” talks about what it’s like being a women in the writing center as well as the challenges that are faced. She mentions how she if sometimes over looked in the center because she is a women. Not only with students but also with other colleagues gender can have a huge impact of how they are treated. My personal reflection is no matter the gender, we should be looked at as equals and respect each others ideas. My question that I am left with is why are we still showing race discrimination or any discrimination at all?

Dennys reading: 

In Dennys reading “ Queers, Jeers, and Fears, writing center as (im) possible safe spaces,” it talks about the writing center being an open and safe environment for the LGBTQ community. He suggest that writing centers be more inclusive and open. He puts an emphasis on communication, that centers should really communicate the needs of others and themselves. My reflection is that I feel our writing center should be inclusive but I feel as if we already are. I don’t know how you would be more inclusive to this certain community and I would like to learn more about ways we can become more welcoming and understanding towards this community. The question I am left with would be what can we do to be more inclusive?
