X54: A Black Woman’s Guide to Economics in Splash Spring 2019 (Apr. 27, 2019)
We envision a lesson plan that is broken into three main parts; contemporary problems faced by black women, social and economic progress made by black women, and action items to focus on moving forward. In the first portion of the class, the students will estimate statistics on racial intergenerational inequality, incarceration rates, and health disparities using an interactive online poll. Using these statistics we will present a framework of the current status of black women in the US. Our second portion will focus on the progress that black women have made in recent years. We will speak to the high level of agency taken by black women to improve our college graduation rates, political impact and, entrepreneurial footprint. We expect the first two parts of our lesson to last about twenty minutes. These portions will provide context for the action items that we will discuss in the last forty minutes. We will facilitate activities relating to personal finance and discuss a few more solutions to increase the economic wellbeing of black women during this time.
