You

All aspects of your identity and approach to processing your experience, or “ways of knowing,” gives you valuable insight and enables your curiosity. Your particular, lived experience provides a wealth of knowledge and perspective that forms the foundation of your understanding and can take many forms. Your identity gives you a lens on your context that can reveal new ways of seeing old ideas and new possibilities. How might components of your identity work with your ways of knowing to provide a new perspective on an established idea or point to an unexplored idea?
