Yes I am about 3 weeks late on posting about this workshop. I really enjoyed this workshop because the 3 panelists put forth points that I never considered or viewed in that same aspect. Leaving the workshop, I felt a sense of empowerment and motivation. I feel a connection to Sotomayor being a female and half black, half honduran.
One point that was brought to the table was that ” women’s success is always rationalized” (Professor DiJordan). The panelist also proceeded by stating that minorities are always appeared to be blessed as if they didnt have credit in their own success. I also enjoyed the second panelist, Professor Joanna Fernandez. Basically, she spoke about the continuous savage inequalities.
I didnt expect the panel to be interesting. I am glad that I did attend. (9-22-09-VC 7-150, 12:45 to 1:40)
