CI-169 Riddles of Identity
In this course, we will be exploring the often puzzling question of personal identity from a creative perspective, learning about creativity by exploring questions of personal identity. What exactly constitutes our identities? How much control - if any - do we have in determining what our identities are? By wrestling with these among other important questions from a wide-range of perspectives and with creative confidence - the firm belief that each of us can and must explore these questions creatively - we will arrive at a better understanding of ourselves, our personal identities, as well as acquire a greater appreciation of the identities of others. Our course is a genuinely collaborative one, given the significant role others can play in providing us with a perspective on our identities unavailable to us as individuals.
