Learning about our and others’ selves

This chapter describes a three-hour workshop in which participants explore the multiple sources of their identity and those of their classmates, focusing in particular on the social categories, group memberships, and other affiliations that together both make them unique and connect them to other people. The workshop includes two related but separate components, “Sources of our identity,” and “Learning about others.” Although the workshop was designed for and is described in the context of a semester-long course, Cultural Diversity in the Workplace, it can be adapted for many other uses.
