session 1: humans, identity and Language
We had some very stimulating discussion in this session, focusing largely around how words change, how customs change and how we categorise the people around us. The question of 'are we what we wear?' provoked all kinds of insights, ranging for example from recalling times when all men wore hats outside (and all boys wore caps), to how wearing a burka provokes a reaction and leads to our categorising the wearer.
