Social justice appears to be a major theme in my life. How do you suppose the works of W.  E. B.  Du Bois (1903/1994), Carter G.  Woodson (1933/2010), and Paulo Freire (1970/2000) influence my current work with marginalized and historically oppressed people in the twenty-first century? How might incorporating the ideologies of the previously mentioned authors influence your clinical or professional work with clients or communities? How might this major paradigm shift inform the policies, practices, and standards of your respective professions? Consider the intersections of politics and the social constructions of race, class, and gender, along with domestic and international interpretations of American exceptionalism, in your thought process. Consider how this particular question has implications relevant to the past and the future.
