• 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.
