Identities & Inequality
The Lang Center acknowledges that the United States experiences vast inequality along lines of identity—including, but not limited to, race, gender, class, and education. The Identities & Inequality pathway at the Lang Center celebrates our unique and individual identities and encourages students to think critically about structures that facilitate inequality. If you are interested in learning more about the way Identity & Inequality functions in our society, on our campus, and in our communities, please reference the resources below and reach out to our Lang Center Associates, Mohammed Bappe, '19.
