Answer these questions in 5-7 double-spaced pages in 10- or 12- point Times font as creatively as you want, being sure you are using direct evidence from the textbook chapters (7 – 9) and Cortese that communicate your understanding of stigma, activist identity construction processes, and social movement theories.
How deeply has “stigma” (as Goffman and other symbolic interactionists define it) and “activism” (as Cortese defines it) played a role in your own lived experiences? What identities are stigmatized or motivate you to social action (Chapter 9)? How does your experience fit within the social role expectations of others who share in your stigmas or self-definition of activist?
