Critical Identity Development

1.5 credits · Undergraduate

Draws on an autoethnographic approach to applying theories of racial identity development across the lifespan exposing how colonialism contributes to the social construction of race, sexuality, gender, class and ability, and the persistent oppressions that come with these constructions. Applies critically reflective analysis of multiple and shifting social positionality through queer, anti-racism, intersectional and decolonizing theories. Trauma and violence-informed approaches and decolonizing and healing practices are a central theme.
