Part I: Identity Map

This activity comes from the work of Jacobson and Mustafa (2019). Their article, “Social Identity Map: A Reflexivity Tool for Practicing Explicit Positionality in Critical Qualitative Research,” explains how to use the identity map by completing their three-tiered approach. Before engaging in this activity, please read the article for detailed directions regarding each step.
This assignment has two parts: a) an identity map and b) the VoiceThread video journal reflection. To complete the video journal, you must first complete the identity map.
