>>>>Negotiating Identities Across Cultures<<<<

   with Professors Jim Igoe and Hoyt Alverson

Thursday, March 1st

4:30 PM, Cutter Shabazz First-Floor Lounge

 

 

How do we negotiate our identities (as Americans, researchers, women, LGBT etc.) while engaging with new cultures?

 

How do we resolve tensions between the need to fit in with our desires to stay true to who we are?

 

How should we respond when we realize we have been culturally insensitive?
