• The course deals with the nature of identity as well as

maintenance of personal identity. It is intended to
facilitate the exploration of the issues and concerns
regarding self and identity to arrive at a better
understanding of one’s self.
• It strives to meet this goal by stressing the integration
of the personal with the academic – contextualizing
matters discussed in the classroom and in the
everyday experiences of students – making for better
learning, generating a new appreciation for the
learning process, and developing a more critical and
reflective attitude while enabling them to manage and
improve their selves to attain a better quality of life.

to our self-identity throughout
life remains our own name."
(Gordon Allport, 1961)

Our names signify who we are…
and
EVEN DEATH CANNOT STOP
THE BOND
between our identity and the
name that we bear
How to Navigate Names and Pronouns with
Respect
• The correct pronunciation of your name is whatever you decide
it is!
• Respect someone’s own pronunciation of their name.
• Pronouns are how we refer to ourselves or each other in lieu of
our names.
➢A key tip is to never assume an individual’s gender - if they don’t
tell you what pronouns they want to be referred by, make sure to
ask…”what pronoun do you like to be known by?”
How to Respond to Misnaming, Mispronunciation,
or Misgendering
Ask the Person Repeat their Name! Calling In
Practice, coz you’re
gonna make some
Calling Out
mistakes!
(psst...that’s OK).
Activity #1: Story of My Name
• Write responses to the following series of prompts. Do not think too much about it and write
whatever comes to mind first!
Prompt 1: List three things that the sounds in your name remind you of.
These may be words that rhyme with your name; things that you associate with individual
sounds; or a combination.
Prompt 2: Make a statement (or more) beginning “My name is…”.
You may name yourself after any person or thing you choose.
Prompt 3: List one sight, one sound, one taste, one smell, and one texture (or more) you remember
from your childhood.
Prompt 4: Make a statement (or more) beginning “My name means…”.
You may use the actual origins of your name; you may also make some up.
“A name represents identity, a
deep feeling and holds
tremendous significance to its
owner!”
