How do you identify yourself? And, what is the most important part of your identity? Is it your gender, your race, or ethnicity, your sexual orientation, your class status, your nationality, your religious affiliation, your age, your physical or cognitive abilities, your political beliefs? Is there one part of your identity that stands out from the rest, or does your identity change depending on who you’re with, what you’re involved in, where you are in your life?

Identity Studies introduces students to theoretical concepts, while also offering the chance to study different in-depth subjects such as race and ethnicity, gender and sexuality, and body studies. Studying identity looks at all of these aspects, and helps us understand ourselves and how we are perceived by others.
