Description
Each individual’s experiences and position in politics, culture, scholarship, and professional relationships are shaped by her or his multiple sources of identity including gender, race, class, sexual orientation, (dis)ability status, age, nationality, religion. The discussants in this roundtable all use varying aspects of diverse identity to help students explore and discuss the significance of identity, power, and authority. Dr. Gentlewarrior regularly discusses with students how their own identities (as well as those of the people they are serving) affect social work practice. Dr. Faiman-Silva focuses on citizenship and feminist/queer discourse to broaden students’ understandings of diversity in the U.S. and Globally. Dr. O’Connor uses gender to explore issues of power and authority in the production of historical and anthropological scholarship on Latin America. The panelists will facilitate an exercise addressing our diverse identities, and how these influence our work in preparing students to participate in our “diverse and global society.”
