Uncovering Your Political Identity: The Political Skin You're In

We may not fully understand politics," yet we are always subject to it. What does it mean to become politicized? What conditions promote politicization? The course supports a personal inquiry into one's political identity, the "political skin you're in," its attributes, what has shaped it, its current compared to desired state. By describing attributes and recalling early influencers/influences on one's political consciousness, students will in turn discover more about political conscience and its implications for personal political speech and action.
