About:
With the explosion of new ways to display, perform, and curate our identities online, the question of “who we are” has only become more salient. In this course, we will read canonical and contemporary sociological work on identity, including book-length ethnographies, and consider how new online contexts and social media link our identities to interaction and social context. This is a writing-intensive seminar focused on reading, discussion, writing, and revision.
