What I did and what I learned about my topic, activism, social justice work or civil and human rights work from this fieldwork?[:: :
Today, my group presented an overview presentation on our SJ topic. I think we did really well as a group and we worked very hard. We talked a lot about the statistics of the pay gaps and how drastic they are. Something I learned was how “Stephen Curry makes 262,000 for every 2 quarters he plays in a NBA game while the highest paid WNBA player Taurasi Diana gets paid 222,000.” This really shocked me and a lot of others in the class. Something else that shocked me was how WNBA auto corrects to NBA.
