Identity and Power
This focal study encourages students to explore how various concepts of the self and group identity are related to political struggles, civil rights, freedom and social justice. Students will take a combination of classes that allow them to think about identity formation from multiple disciplinary perspectives and the implications of these differences for understanding power and freedom.
