My Learning journey - Part 2

Building on our previous post, our second line of inquiry delved into embedded practices, dowry statistics and case studies, the timeline of women's rights, and the life and experiences of Maya Angelou, among other topics.

( Second line of inquiry: embedded practices in societies)


Next, in our third line of inquiry, we visited 2 places:  BZU and VAWC.

In Bahauddin Zakariya University ( BZU ) we met a professor who teaches sharia laws about families over there. We asked him a few questions and recorded an interview.


Secondly, in violence against women center, we met a psychologist who told us and gave a tour of the whole center. 

We had lots of fun and we learned a lot in both of the trips.

( Third line of inquiry: Advocating equal rights)

Additionally, we started a table talk series in our 1st line of inquiry and it ended till our third line of inquiry. We formulated questions and interviewed a few teachers as well as the professor in BZU.


ACTION PLAN:

  • We wanted to make a product that lasted long with people and reminded them of our exhibition, so we decided to make a box. The box contained customized tote bags, keychains, diaries, laptop bags, calendars, and candles.
  • In our order to celebrate women’s sacrifices and strengths, we distributed cupcakes and bookmarks and our action plan is inspired by that.

My understanding of Second Line of Inquiry

  2nd Line of Inquiry: E mbedded Practices in Society The concept of "embedded practices in societies" refers to customs, behaviors, and beliefs which are deep-rooted in communities and cultures. These practices are long-standing, widely accepted and often unconscious.  Dowry as an Embedded Practice: The dowry system is a long-standing tradition in south Asian societies. This problem isn't limited to a single case; it's a systematic issue within marriages and families. Families have exchanged dowries for generations, making it a common practice. Social pressure keeps the system going, with families feeling the need to give a dowry to maintain their status or help their daughter marry. Some families expect to receive a dowry as a form of security or payment.
