DOC 1 Grading Specifications Form (GSF) DOC uses an antiracist grading system that evaluates student work based on completion. Assignments that fulfill the specifications below will receive full credit. Incomplete assignments will receive no credit, but most can be revised according to the directions in the syllabus to receive full credit. For each assignment, students will complete the sections highlighted in yellow and include this completed form (i.e., the GSF) with their assignment and TAs will use the GSF to grade and give feedback on the assignment.

3 In both Omi and Winant’s text and “How the Irish Became White” by Noel Ignatiev, a key limiting factor in the real world applicability of their assertions is the lack of addressing intersectionality. While addressing how religion impacts the perceived racial identity of certain social groups is critical, religion is not explored further as an influencing factor in the perception of women in society. In Ignatiev’s writing, Catholicism is cited as a discriminatory factor in Irish society. What is not mentioned is how within the Catholic church, women were, and even still are, viewed as secondary to men and restricted from many positions in power. For example, in eighteenth century Ireland “all bishops of the Catholic Church were ordered to leave the country under penalty of death if they remained or returned,” (Ignatiev, p. 41). Persecution of Catholic bishops is spoken about as a thing of the past in Ireland, but to this day women are still not allowed to be ordained within the church at all. There is a section in Omi and Winant’s text that also cites religion as a discriminatory racial factor to be a thing of the past, with scientific ones gradually gaining traction (Omi and Winant, 2014, p. 115). While this may be true in some aspects, religion still is very much present as a factor in discrimination today, perhaps not on the basis of race, but certainly gender and more. To continue from my previous point, religion in Ireland may have been a discriminating factor against men in the past, but women still face the effects of patriarchy within religious institutions today.

4 In writing this assignment, I realized that I am very passionate about women's issues, especially in relation to Catholicism as I grew up at an all girls Catholic school. This brought me to understand that an important part of truly engaging with DOC as a class is finding the issues you are passionate about and exploring how the other topics we learn about may relate. As I mentioned above, I believe intersectionality is very important when it comes to recognizing discrimination and social differences and hierarchies because nothing is truly independent. My experience identifying as a Catholic woman of color may have overlap with that of someone who also identifies as Catholic, but not necessarily as a woman or person of color, and there are unique differences that we do not all necessarily share.
