Students will be able to understand the vastly different experiences that various individuals will have, as well as the social, political, and cultural conditions that create their experiences.  For example, students may be able to articulate the possible differences in experience between a wealthy, light-skinned, Cuban-American heterosexual male whose family fled from Cuba during Fidel Castro’s revolution versus those of a young, impoverished, very dark-skinned homosexual female who migrated to the U.S. from Mexico.
