Our Complex Identity

• Think about your own identity
• Look at the Wheel of Diversity below and think about your own specific characteristics on each of the listed primary and secondary dimensions of your identity
• Think about the following questions:
  • What experiences have helped you mould your secondary dimension characteristics?
  • Are they related to your characteristics in the primary dimension?
  • Are they sources of privilege and/or disadvantage?
• Consider that this wheel is just a guide towards visualizing your own complex identity and that there may be aspects of your identity that the wheel does not grasp
  • Address aspects of your identity that you think fall beyond the simple categories provided
  • This will help you keep moving towards a more complex conception of identity with areas of grey and areas that mix and overlap
