LAS 105 - Living at the Intersection of Identities

3 hours
This seminar uses the concept of “intersectionality” to examine the self. Students will be invited to reflect on the multiple identities they have to understand who they are and how they became who they are. We will discuss how the intersection of our identities puts us at a unique place in society where some of us have more and less privileges than others. By exploring the intersection of their identities, students will aim to have a more holistic understanding of the self, including how each unique reality impacts who we can and will become in the world. Using an “intersectionality” perspective students will also assess what it means to live mindfully and reflectively and how the intersection of their identities may help or hinder that process. This seminar will require off-campus service hours.
