I decided to begin the peer workshop I was leading on diversity and social justice in the classroom, by coming in as a goth and making a scene. It was glorious-everyone (except for the previously warned victim of the yelling) was quite taken a-back. I then had them take a few minutes to write down how/if they thought that demonstrated diversity and if they thought the student (me) thought her voice was heard.
What a blast even my lovely library boss enjoyed the tale and gettup. I had asked one of my friends who calls herself goth if it would be ok. I didn't want to offend her. She actualy was really excited for me. "Oh! You're welcom to borrow any clothes or makeup!"
-What a blast!
Yours truly!
