For my final project, I created an infographic poster about understanding intersectionality, thinking intersectionality, and avoiding bias. Again, my key audience would be young adults or college students.
The perfect scenario where my work would be seen would be in an elevator going to class or waiting in a hallway, where students actually have the time to read something and engage with it. Although intersectionality and bias are such important subjects that do not just deserve to be delivered on a poster, I realized it would be an excellent start when it comes to educating. So many peers are not fully aware of intersectionality’s implications, and if my poster could help some further their thinking and knowledge, I believe I did my job correctly.
Not only did I display information and graphics, but a QR code and more sources for students to look up to learn more information. Thanks to Julia and Edward’s advice, this QR code allows students to go to a website called “Bias Hurts,” which involves real accounts from oppressed people engaging in a real-life conversation. I felt that this was very effective to include, and I hope that you do too.
I just want to say that I think your project turned out great. It was so engaging and I think that your willingness to accept peer advice is admirable! Your color scheme is catchy with its vibrant colors but also got me interested in what those colors represented and made me do a little research of my own (it’s the pansexual pride flag colors- pink blue and yellow) . The format was easy to follow and kept me engaged throughout. Great work!
