November 13, 2020 — Identification and Differentiation – Early Gender and Ethnic/Racial Identity Development

[55 pages]

The concept of gender identity development has undergone intense evolution in the past thirty years. We will explore the construct of gender as a process of self and body experience, differentiation, identification, disidentification, complementarity and the capacity for living with contradiction. We will also look at the way in which young children begin to notice, form, use and make meaning of sociocultural concepts of ethnic and racial identity – their own and those of others.
