Identity Lecture - My Thoughts

I had no idea what the relevance of this lecture was to graphic design, and honestly wish I'd stayed in bed. I feel like the studio session we did in COP on identity theories were much more useful. 

The lecture today focussed on racial and sexual identity a lot, specifically in the modern era, which I feel is a subject that is more directly relatable to fields like Fine Art and Photography. 

The idea that social mobility has moved on is quite interesting, as I still feel that social mobility is still somewhat constrained. Whilst I appreciate that anyone can make a success out of themselves by working hard and putting a lot of effort into something, I don't feel that anyone can make a success of themselves just by fulfilling their own idea of their own identity, which is what social mobility is by my understanding. 

Other than this, I don't really have any constructive thoughts on the lecture as I don't think there was much else of relevance.
