“I” is for Identity Crisis
presented by Daniel Hubbard
Thursday, September 21: 7:00 pm
We think of identity as something fixed and simple, but as we try to reconstruct the identities of long gone people we need to realize that identity is a much slipperier concept. The things we use to define a person’s identity can change during that person’s lifetime. There are also questions of how a person self-identifies, the motivations they can have for changing how they self-identify and how those changes affect the records they leave behind.
