Workshop Description: People have long sorted and stratified themselves based on social identity. Still, many of us belong to multiple social identities that create complex lived experiences because of power and privilege. This workshop will help participants to deepen their understanding of their social identity and the ways power, and the privilege that it affords, shapes their daily lives. Special emphasis will be placed on the experiences of graduate students in college and university settings. The objectives for this workshop are to (a) define the concept of social identity; (b) outline the major social identities in the U.S.; (c) describe the three processes of social identity; (d) describe the systems of power, privilege, and oppression; (e) identify aspects one's own social identities; and (f) locate their positions on the Social Identity Scale.
