IN 152 - Cultural Constructions of Identity

Institution:

Emerson College

Subject:

Description:

Explores the complex relations among different modalities of identity, focusing on race, ethnicity, gender, sexuality, religion, and nationality. Many individuals and groups assert their identities without articulating convincing arguments. Indeed, it is often assumed that such individuals need not defend their rights; that one's own identity is a private matter that does not tolerate any intrusion. Bases of belief systems are explored through a series of theoretical perspectives and historical readings.
