Next week's guest is Dr. Ayşe Çiftçi. Ayşe was born and raised in Turkey where she attended Middle East Technical University and received her undergraduate and Masters degrees. Ayşe moved to the United States for her doctoral program at the University of Memphis, Tennessee in 2002. After graduating in 2006, she moved to Purdue University as an Assistant Professor in the Counseling Psychology program. Ayşe's research interests lie in multicultural issues, cross cultural psychology, immigration, international students, and psychology well being.
In preparation for her visit, she has asked you read Chapter 3 from Diversity Consciousness. This reading is available under the Week 10 Course Content on Blackboard. It is a longer reading assignment, but there are a lot of figures and it should be rather easy and interesting for you to read. Dr. Çiftçi does not have any specific thought questions for you, but asks that you read this carefully and thoughtfully.
In order to develop a blog post, I suggest you read the chapter and write about something that you found most interesting. For example, I find the section about map projections to be quite interesting from a technical standpoint of how maps are developed, and from a cultural standpoint of who is generating the maps. Perhaps from here I could expand upon what kinds of implications and perceptions this could develop in people who view these kinds of skewed maps, or other examples of how ethnocentrism influences how we portray information in popular media.
