All three ...This unit, designed for use in science classes, is offered in tandem with the Life Skills Guidance designed by Karon Waters. Together the units address a transition faced by African American teenagers that we are calling “From Cornrows to Corporate.” “Cornrows”stand for a cultural and social way of being with distinctly African roots. In my unit, we explore differences and similarities across the African diaspora in three arenas for artistic self-expression: hair styles, food, and music. All three areas are linked to the health of body, spirit, and community life, but each allows ample room for historically contingent styles of expression. The close integration of art and life is in keeping with core African values, and places people who hold those values at odds with the principles of Western civilization that carve life up into separate spheres for art, family, work, religion, business and community. As Sterling Stuckey describes the process in Slave Culture: Nationalist Theory and the Foundation of Black America,

A large, impersonal, uptight, mainstream, and possibly racist corporation versus a proletarian underdog whose deeply personal mode of self-expression is also the literal embodiment of the soul of a subject people. Milquetoast versus multiculturalism; bureaucracy versus braids: we know what side we’re on. But isn’t the argument as the plaintiff Rene Rogers advanced it at least disquieting? Corn rows are “the cultural and historical essence of Black American women”? The theory of racial discrimination and civil rights underlying Rogers’s claim raises tough questions for anti-discrimination law. Leaving aside the volumes of critique of racial essentialism as a conceptual matter, I would maintain that the claim of historicism is questionable as a matter of fact: Rogers’s own...It bears noting that we'd also need a definition of “cornrows” or a list of protected hairstyles in order evaluate the implications of Rogers's claim.

Disability studies have emerged as a logical base for examination of the construction and function of ‗disability.‘...stress, and characterized by an identifiable group of signs or symptoms. ...Disability Studies reframes the study of disability by focusing on it as a social phenomenon, social construct, metaphor, and culture utilizing a minority group model. It examines ideas related to disability in all forms of cultural representations throughout history, and examines the policies and practices of all societies to understand the social, rather than the physical or psychological, determinants of the experience of disability.
