CUC107: Cultural Intelligence and Capabilities

Assessment 2

Construct a visual, annotated representation with pictures to show your understanding and analysis of what you bring to your academic and professional experience from your cultural background.  You are asked to show how your own 'map' like the one shared above by Ian in week 1 has contributed to your current academic experience, and future academic and professional life.

Using a 5-section format, organise your world using the categories as outlined below.

Two mandatory bubbles:

a) Race/ethnicity

b) Gender

Pick 1 additional bubbles below (your choice, only pick one that is applicable, and be specific):

▢ Economic Class

▢ Indigeneity (Indigenous cultural features)

▢ LBGTQ+ identified

▢ Religion (name the religion)

▢ Language/ELL/Accent

▢ Accommodation/Disability

▢ Immigration Status

The 4th & 5th bubble will consist of categories you choose that are most relevant to your life and cultural understanding. Things like rules/laws, sport, family, nature/outdoors or any other thing that is a major component of your cultural engagement. (If you would like to pick another bubble from the "pick 1" category you may, but at least 1 of your bubbles must be your own "original" category).

In your (90-110 word) text for each respective bubble please explain how that bubble has impacted your life, (how it operates as a "privilege" or lack thereof for you) and explain how it has impacted your professional and academic aspirations. In your self selected categories please explain why the category you generated is/was important to you, how is has impacted your professional and academic aspirations.

Write 90-110 words for each element. (IAS 500-550 words total)

Please remember that this is an assessment for you to understand your cultural positionality and that only your professional and academic inputs are requested. Please do not feel the need to share personal stories that make you feel uncomfortable. 

This is an exercise in analysing the impact of your cultural positionality and background on your academic and professional self-perception, attitudes and actions (See learning outcomes above). 

Make sure that you are following the Assessment Criteria attached below. We will use this to mark your work.
