Diversity

Through Interdisciplinary study, students will rigorously examine how social, cultural, and biological categories of sameness and difference are made and unmade and how they function within diverse human contexts.  The Diversity Constellation will allow students to address a series of complex questions:  How and why are we similar and/or different?  How are similarities and differences understood among human populations?  How do we respond to and analyze sameness and difference?  How do categories of race, ethnicity, culture, gender, sexuality, class, age, and ability shape our understandings of sameness and difference?  What are other categories that shape how we understand sameness and difference?  What are the consequences of these understandings of sameness and difference at the social, political, cultural, and/or economic level?
