INTERSECTIONALITY

Trust our voices are impacted by our multifaceted identities.  Oppress voice, wellbeing suffers.  Validate voice, wellbeing flourishes.  Social determinants.  Getting educated with the "wrong" identity...let's read some science.

Respect

Oppress voice, wellbeing suffers. 

Validate voice, wellbeing flourishes. 

Social determinants. 

Getting educated with the "wrong" identity...some science above. 

Wonder if exchanges of identity-related  respect have anything to do with academic outcomes? 

We talk a lot about respect, but scientists don't seem to be a very big part of the conversation.

"Although respect is an understudied construct in intimate relationships,
there is a massive literature on disrespect, particularly as it pertains to injustice,
perceptions of power and status, and violations of a group’s moral
norms (see Miller, 2001, for a review). Within this research tradition, respect
means several things. Following Rawls (1971), Miller (2001) noted that ‘one
of the entitlements that individuals are due by virtue of their humanity is
the right to be treated in a way that fosters positive self-regard’ (p. 530).
Stated differently, everyone deserves a basic level of respect simply because
they are part of the human community." - Hendricks and Hendricks (2006)
