The writing reflection for this week covers the lectures "Intersectionality" and "Value Sensitive Design". This reflection is due on 2/3 at 12pm.

Note that the course staff are looking for your own thoughts on these topics. Writing in the first person, taking divergent viewpoints, and bringing in ideas from outside of class are encouraged. Write as if you are targeting a public audience. Particularly insightful or convincingly contrarian statements might be shared with the entire class in lecture or in the course slack.

With this writing reflection, I'd like you to choose a context based on a Movie, TV series, graphic novel, comic book. Identify a technological device (Fictional or Non-Fictional):

1. Who uses this device? Describe the person/character and their different identities. 
2. What do they use this device to do?
3. When and where do they use this device?
4. How do they interact with the device? (touch, speech, etc.)
5. Include a picture of the device. 
6. Now, think about whether this technological device contributes to inequality when gender, race, sexuality, and other categories of identities interact together. 

Grading

Each reflection should be between 500 - 1000 words and in paragraph form. It will be graded in terms of:

Does the reflection adequately address the prompt?

Does the reflection reference the readings and class discussions to support the writing?

Does the reflection exhibit thoughtfulness and creative expression?

Does the reflection utilize proper grammar and style?

Is the reflection an appropriate length?
