Activity: Instruct participants to draw a large circle. Create an identity wheel by drawing different “pie slices” for your identities using the following categories:
- Race/Ethnicity
- Gender Identity
- Sexual Orientation
- Religion/Spirituality
- Social Class
- Ability Status
- Other Identities?
Then in each “slice,” draw a picture or write words that represent aspects and/or experiences related to your identities (e.g., traditions related to ethnicity, experiences around gender, values related to your social class, etc).
After, find a partner ant talk about your identity wheel. If stuck, consider one of these prompts:
- Which “slices” were harder/easier to complete? Why do you think that might be?
- How has your experience at DePaul impacted your identity?
- How does your identity influence your interaction on campus?
- Why are some “slices” bigger or smaller than others?
