Abstract

Students often respond to situations based on their own positionality (i.e. their own world view). This may result in miscommunications. It can also result in incorrect, simplistic, or self-centred interpretations of situations. This chapter provides a stepped activity (and an ongoing tool) for students to expand their ideas around inclusive practice. This helps them become reflexive and critically conscious of their own positionality and to the need for honouring diversity as they communicate.
