Activity: To reflect on the relationships between actions/events, spaces, and systems, students could create maps of specific events as shaped by spaces and systems/institutions

Events.  At the top of their map, students identify a specific event by drawing a circle and include people in event, along with spokes out to other smaller satellite circles that represent goals, roles, plans, norms, and beliefs.

Spaces.  Then, in the middle, students draw another circle that represents the space or spaces shaping the event that may be defined, for example, by gender, race, or class differences.  Then, draw lines between this middle circle and circles in the events map at the top.

Systems/institutions. Then, at the bottom of the sheet, draw another circle that shows the systems or institutions shaping the event and spaces.  Draw lines between this circle and the spaces and events shaped by these systems/institutions.
