Course Description:
How many identities do you have? To what extent do you create your own identity? To what extent is identity imposed on you? This course draws upon four disciplines to explore personal identity, group dynamics, and systemic power structures. Our core readings will come from philosophy, psychology, literature, and biblical studies. We will supplement these readings with opinion pieces from the current press on issues of ethnic, racial, religious, and gender identity. Students will consider their own experience of how they "fit" into various social configurations, including family, clubs, and the larger American society. This course seeks to equip students with tools to explore their selves, achieve personal growth and self-knowledge, and better understand and take charge of their interaction with social and political forces. |
