Synopsis "Lehigh Valley Vanguard Collections Volume NINE: Explorations of Identity"

Identity studies is engulfed in debate. Scholars, artists, and activists alike are continually brought together and separated from each other through their individual and group identities. Although we may identify with groups and subgroups, we all have individual experiences which are unlike any other person. We can relate to one another, yet not fully. To identify completely with any one person or group would imply we are post-human, clone animations. However, when we explore identities, we can find common ground. Additionally, we can find empathy more easily if we understand ourselves. It is comforting to think others've had paths similar to ours, maybe even running parallel or intersecting. Our identities transform over time, transitioning, occupying a liminal area. When we write about our experiences, once again the individual and the group intersect. We may say "I've also felt that," or "I'd like to understand that more." Identity studies implies we are acknowledging some people's stories are left out. As we search for them, or, as with this space, provide places for their exhibition, we can uncover oppression and pain, along with revealing ways for triumph and joyfulness. Identity studies should exist to show us these intersections, create more opportunities to empathize with others, and maintain an understanding of the nuances of each individual. But let's not stop at "individuality." Studying identity, others and our own, should move us toward solidarity.
