Identity: Practice Through Pop Culture

Course Description

Course information provided by the Courses of Study 2017-2018.

This one credit seminar class is concerned with all aspects of identity – from gender, to race and class – through readings drawn primarily from literature but also from other disciplines. This class is aimed at all undergraduates for whom identity is an ongoing concern. This workshop-style course aims to develop practical approaches for integrating theoretical perspectives on identity and justice both in and out of the classroom. Students and the graduate lecturers collaborate to leverage strategic language for articulating personal identity issues within the frameworks of both critical discourse and campus activism. This semester's iteration of the workshop will focus on the production and performance of identities in contemporary biography, fiction, music and film.

When Offered Fall, spring.
