This course has largely been focused on self-reflection and self-analysis—a “pause” button in the movie of your life where you have stopped and then rewound to revisit your earliest days. This pause has been intentional in helping to clarify your understanding of your own culture—including the values and beliefs you were socialized into—and how that culture colors and shapes your interactions with others, even now. The course has also been foundational in nature, with the expectation that you will continue to pursue self-awareness and humility in your cross-cultural relationships long after.
Before you hit “play” again, you have an opportunity to fast-forward to the future. In this Assignment, you envision your “culturally humble path” and what barriers you may face.
Reflect on the strides that you have made in this course in understanding and applying the tenets of cultural humility.
Consider additional strides that you would like to make in your professional life related to working with and advocating for diverse populations. What external and internal barriers might you face in this work?
Submit a 1- to 2-page critical reflection in which you describe how you envision yourself working with and advocating for diverse populations using cultural humility. Be specific. Please include:
The external barriers to continuing to develop your cultural humility (e.g., institutional policies or procedures, funding, language differences, skeptical attitudes from others concerning your motives) and how you might address them.
The internal/personal barriers to continuing to develop your cultural humility (e.g., fear, lack of confidence, time pressures) and how you might address them.
