Social Location Reflection Activity
 
This is a writing activity that aims to create a mindful and reflective approach to Social Location.
 
Step 1

Use this list of all the different ways you are socially located. Fee free to add any other social factors that influence the way you view the world.
Gender
Geographic location
Nationality
Relationship Status
Race
Class
Religion
Educational Background
Work Experience
 
Step 2
Write down an association, memory, or example beside each category that would illustrate, or provide an example of, how this social location shaped your identity. You don’t have to write something down beside every factor, but try to choose at least five for this exercise.

Step 3
Take your examples and craft them into a paragraph explaining your own social location. What you write from your examples may surprise you.
