Assignment Description
In this final reflection, you will engage with all the content from the course and demonstrate that you
meet the content course-level objectives. You will also engage in some critical self-reflection. You are
required to complete all parts of this reflection. Similar to the skills you developed with the case studies,
this final reflection asks you to think back on this semester and evaluate what you’ve learned. You must
respond to each prompt below. Each response must be about 250-400 words. You must include at least
three citations drawn from class readings/discussion in each response and include in-text citations as
well as a references page.

Prompts
1. Summarize 5 ways that dress and appearance practices play a role in the development of
different identities for different marginalized communities. Cite relevant readings from
relevant modules from our course. Be specific.

2. Explain at least 5 social justice issues within the fashion system in the United States for
marginalized communities. Explain What type of oppression these social justice issues fall
under. Cite relevant readings from relevant modules from our course. Be specific.

3. Explain at least 5 driving forces of transformative social justice change that could be
implemented within the fashion system to reduce justice issues for marginalized
communities in the United States.

4. In this course, we learned about different communities that experience oppression or


marginalization as related to their dress and appearance practices (e.g. transgender or
gender non-conforming people; lesbian, gay, bisexual, or queer people; overweight/fat
people; people with disabilities; Muslim women; people of color). Reflect on your
development of empathy towards people in these communities. Do you feel you like you
developed an attitude of understanding for some, all, or none? Why or why not? Did your
attitudes towards these communities change at all after taking the course? Why or why not?

5. Describe your field of study or the discipline you plan to go into in the future. Describe how
what you learned in this course is relevant to your future career or your role as a person in
society to help you live, work, and collaborate with others.
