Identity and Diversity Concentration

These courses use identity as a category of analysis and as subject matter, examining how its social construction reflects and determines differentials of power and opportunity. Students analyze identity groups as social agents whose biological, socialized identities and experiences are shaped by—and help shape—systems of gender, race, ethnicity, socio-economic class, sexuality, and national power. This concentration is interested, above all, in the changing status of various identities over time and space.
