Question: How has your upbringing/schooling shaped how you “read the world?” What biases and lenses do you bring to the classroom? How might we unlearn / work against these biases? Which “single stories” (see Chimamanda Adichie’s talk, viewed in lecture) were present in your own schooling? Whose truth mattered?

Growing up my view of the world became very narrow. It became Eurocentric, white and very conservative. My view changed S little as I got into highschool. Which allowed me to understand a little about how we began in Canada. As well as how we are still developing into a great country.
