Identity

Identity is many things—some as private and personal as a memory, some as anonymous as a Social Security number. Identity might mean belonging to a nation, to a religion, or to a generation, yet it could also be as specific as a certain sweater, a certain song. In the “Identity: Who Are You?” thread, students will explore how a variety of academic disciplines analyze and understand human identity. Students will investigate not only the construction of personal identity, but also how personal identities are constituted within social, political, cultural, and religious contexts.  Students completing the thread will have resources for better understanding their own identities and the identities of others.

This thread can be 9 or 18 hours.
