Spring Semester Colloquium II builds on and expands the concept of identity to multicultural identities with an emphasis on culture and context as shapers of identity. Students are introduced to issues of communication across cultures as well as identity formation in different cultures through the presentations of faculty and others who have immigrated to the United States. Students will respond to the presentations with a critical analysis of the process of identity as understood through the concepts outlined in Colloquium I. Students are required to interview a member of another culture extensively and using the concepts from Colloquium I, compose a piece of narrative that tells the story of the person’s sense of identity across cultures.
