Description:

GS, H - This course introduces students to the dynamics of identity, culture and globalization in the United States by examining issues such as race, class, and gender. Students examine their own identities and culture groups in order to understand the tensions between local ways of life with deep historical, linguistic, ethnic, and religious roots and global pressures for pluralism. Using work drawn from the humanities, social- and natural-sciences, students assess how their local identity, including such things as gender, disability, sexuality, race, ethnicity, class, and spirituality, is negotiated in the era of neocolonialism and globalization.
