Who are you?  Seems like a simple enough question, yet it insists upon a deep reflection and investigation of identity, perception, consciousness, and the self.  What are you?  Only a three-word question, but it demands an interpretation of the concept of self, which is challenging to provide especially with a constantly changing body affected by new experiences.  Where are you? This further complicates notions of identity and self, especially when exploring concepts of the individual and death across cultural perspectives.  In this seminar we consider our own ideas of who we are, what we are, and where we are as we explore a variety of perspectives on personal identity and the self through diverse written and visual texts, discussions, writing, reflection, and contemplation.
