The goal of the essay is to offer as much insight as possible on how the intersectional categories of sexuality, gender, class, race, disability, religion, and language interact to: 1) Shape each other in your everyday life experience.
This means, for example, addressing questions such as: how your race is related to the ways you perform your gender? How your able or disabled body modifies your economic status? Or how your sexuality is or not consistent to your religious believes? Etc., and 2) to shape the individual that you are, this second point refers to your values, moral standards, priorities in life, believes, the ways you treat people, your personal politics, etc, in short, your personality.
The marking will be anonymous so the grader will not know who I am so the details about me do not need to be exact. However, I would like the essay to still generally describe who I am: I am male, aged 22, born in London (UK), Muslim, straight.</p>
