Power, Self and Society Dublin City University - Full Curriculum Program 2022/2023 Year - Dublin

The purpose of this module is to introduce students to theories relating to identity formation, adaptation and communication. In the module students will focus on different forms of identity, including culture, nationality, gender, language and social class. Students will also study discrimination, stereotyping and prejudice as a form of identity abuse. The module provides a foundation for many of the optional modules students may choose, and requires that students reflect in depth on the idea of identity. The module will combine lectures with group discussions and interactive exercises, in which students are expected to engage.
