S02E06 | Understanding our own Identity through personal stories /w Prof. Theo Klimstra | Part-2: A more relatable take

Info Under The Radar

Welcome to the second part of our 3 part series on Personal Identity. In the first part we talked about how one associates their identity with language and race. This time we are making an attempt to understand identities that don’t really have a strong association like the one we saw in the previous episode.

We talk one’s association of identity with their work in lack of any special hobbies, how does perception of ethnicity shape future planning for inter-racial couples and how does a not-so-decided relationship with God looks like.
