but that an intersectional awareness of the socially constructed axes of oppressiondoes create multiple hierarchies of oppressionand vulnerabilities to harm
basically saying that intersectionality acknowledges that oppression compounds on ppl who have multiple things that oppress them.

For example rascism does not supercede the sexism and classism that I face, rather they work in tandem as oppressive forces.

t TDSB meetings, many administrators argued that they were in the business of schooling and other entities were responsible for social needs such as housing and personal safety. Their unwillingness to work beyond the confines of hardened institutional boundaries is thus a significant point of dissonance between a grassroots political strategy that recognized the interconnectedness of various local institutions and the need for solidarity across social spheres.

he paradoxes of admitting to one’s own racism are clear: saying “we are racist” becomes a claim to have overcome the conditions (unseen racism) that require the speech act in the first place.

While these two approaches to ally-ship diverge, they both flow from a relationship in which white allies and people of color are relegated to "supporters" and "supported," rather than working together to confront racism.

This question prompts another: is great art more likely to be produced in a less or in a more perfect world? In the critical solution, one must think deeply about the relation between the freedom of art and that of society to deter- mine whether and to what extent the condition of a society determines that of its artistic pro- duction.
This is interesting to think about. Given that a "more perfect world" is entirely subjective, I am curious to see how Goehr will approach this inquiry. Would it be effective to examine the music created during more turbulent times in history?

Incorporating some Taoist pedagogy into our education could benefit Western culture. The idea of looking inward at the imprints you leave on the environment is vital for self-actualization. While I do not agree with certain aspects of Taoism, like not being a dissonant voice, I agree with the idea that we should not distance ourselves from nature.
Those who strive create opposition and thus expose themselves to danger. "Only if you do not fight, no one can fight against you"
This principle becomes hard to understand. Coming from a Western perspective, change is important and certain change is essential to my definition of freedom. To be inactive in that change seems inconceivable.
What he means is that the Perfect Man lives without separating himself from the environment. He sees himself as part of nature rather than as an individual in opposition to the environment. He does not make the distinction between internal and external.
This philosophy loosely reminds me of a point made in Biss's book On Immunity An Inoculation. She quotes Rachel Carson who uses the phrases, "intricate web of life" and "bodies are not boundaries" (43). These ideas indicate a sense of limitlessness between the self and the surrounding ecosystem.
To shop-lifters the video monitors installed in stores are big constraints, but to the rest of us, they are nothing but video monitors.
This statement is a big generalization. You don't have to be a shop-lifter to consider the video monitors at stores a big constraint. For others, it is a means of surveillance that adds to the harmfully prevalent "surveillance state" in America.
Taoist requires the individual to be critical of him/herself, and to be in harmony with his/her environment.
The practice of critical thinking and self-reinvention for the benefit of the environment is becoming popular in Western pedagogy. Now more than ever, educators are asking students to look inwardly at their place within different spaces.
A final dimension is economic freedom:
Since the United States operates under a capitalist system, does this harmfully impact our definitions of economic freedom? What does economic freedom look like that is separate from the confines of capitalism?
Such an approach too often fails to recognize how dissenting voices, rejected positions, and disparaged theories have also played a role in shaping the meaning of freedom.
Historically and presently, those with dissonant voices are deliberately left out of the conversation. The discussion of freedom is directed by those who have power and privilege. This becomes dangerous as the definition, created by those is power, may only apply to their experiences.
"It's a free country:' "Every man in the street, white, black, red or yellow," wrote the educator and statesman Ralph Bunche in 1940, "knows that this is 'the land of the free' ... 'the cradle of liberty: "1
This is an interesting statement coming from notable civil rights activist who would have been extremely aware that people of color have little to no freedom in the United States during that time. I wonder if this statement was taken out of context?
The Declara-tion of Independence lists liberty among mankind's inalienable rights; the Constitution announces as its purpose to secure liberty's blessings.
