Identity Politics

Abstract

Where do our identities come from and why do they matter for social and political life? Do we have the freedom to choose our own identities or are they ascribed to us by others? And to what extent do our identities dictate what we can do, think, know, say, or feel? This class explores how categories like class, race, gender, ethnicity, nation, religion, and sexuality impact politics and struggles for power around the world.
