Choose one of the below prompts to guide your analysis of the Case Vignette for this discussion forum. In 700 words or less respond to one of the below prompts in relation to the case vignette. Ensure that you clearly indicate which prompt you are addressing in your post. You are also required to respond to at least one of your classmate’s posts.

Prompts:

1. Based on the definitions of identity-based oppression, and intersectionality, reflect on the potential traumatic experiences that Mary Nguyen Kramer may have experienced.

2. Distinguish between individual-level and collective-level definitions of trauma and identity. Review the vignette and discuss the limitations of individual-level trauma definitions to describe the cumulative experiences of marginalization among members of the Willowton neighborhood in the city of Philadelphia.

3. Identify collective experiences of trauma and identity-based oppression suffered by members of the Willowton neighborhood at different historical times in the past half- century as described in the vignette. Consider including considerations to differential experiences by the community’s diverse groups (for example, experiences lived by the community’s African American members as compared to those of South Asian immigrants, etc.).
