Abstract
Using Gloria Anzaldúa’s concepts of borderlands, conocimiento, and nepantla/ nepantlera, I describe my use of a “differences journal” in an upper-level social service internship course. The goal of the assignment is to encourage students to explore borderlands, develop more consciousness/conocimiento, and decide whether they want to become nepantleras. This assignment is part of a broader pedagogical approach, based on Gordon Allport’s ideas, designed to reduce prejudice.

The intended title of this piece is “Nurturing the Nepantlera Within: Working in the Borderlands of Our Prejudices.”]Recommended Citation
