Experts use specific kinds of related discourse to do research that applies to those fields (eg. linguistics) Emerging technology shapes social discourse (eg. facebook, twitter, etc. ) Each of us have multiple identities that are fluid (prof calls them nested identities ) Race, sexual orientation, ability/disability, mental health, size, status, religion, education, etc. Constructed meanings that we make of these differences impact our interpersonal relationships. People can possess both privileged and stigmatized identities simultaneously. A: visible traits (age, culture, sex, sexual orientation, language, social class, physical ability, etc. ) B: not visible to others (education, religion, work experience, relationship status, etc. ) C: historical events that affect people"s present and future lives, people have no control over these events.
