What determines who we are? College is a time to really explore who you’ve been and who you want to become. It is a time to understand the multiple layers of our identities and use that knowledge to find success in the classroom and beyond. Students will utilize storytelling in peeling away these layers to examine and evaluate their own cooperating and competing identities. Throughout the semester, students will analyze various texts literature, film, music, videos – to explore the value of narratives in understanding identities we choose and those chosen for us and how those identities can help and hinder us when navigating college.
