In this assignment, you will create an infographic that expresses a plan to challenge a type of oppression in the workplace.
First, identify a type of oppression you would like to explore. In my classes, we will be choosing from the categories of discrimination and oppression found on the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission. Here is the link for that- https://www.eeoc.gov/discrimination-type
These are listed in the following image from the site. Note the “Harassment” choice. If chosen, you must choose a specific area of harassment, such as sexual.
Include the following in your infographic:
A title featuring the type of oppression you have selected (e.g., “Challenging Sexism in the Workplace”)
Your name and college
3 or more ways in which this type of oppression manifests itself in the workplace using specific examples
1 or more major historical or current issues related to this type of oppression (may include relevant examples reported via news media, court cases, and/or legislation)
3 or more ways to recognize privilege and limit this type of oppression in the workplace (supported with research, facts, data, and/or policies)
APA-formatted in-text citations and references for 2 or more scholarly or professional sources
Besides including all 6 required components listed above, you will also need to design a neat, professional, and visually engaging infographic.
Submit your infographic to the dropbox as a PDF or image file.
