Through research, writing, and discussion, this course examines the nature of identity from multiple perspectives. Course topics will range from understanding aspects of gender, racial, and sexual identity-making, social forces, and power dynamics. We will use the metaphor of crossroads to bring different points of view from scholarly voices in the field of humanities studies to help develop nuanced and greater understanding to core aspects of our lived experiences. During this course we will examine a wide range of writing that draws extensively from feminist, anti-racist, and indigenous perspectives to explore the multitude of ways that identity takes shape in society. Our work at the crossroads serves to expand conceptualizations and to create a space of greater understanding.
