![]() Race, Gender, and Sexuality in Nella Larsen’s Passing: An Exploration of Performed Identity When I’m not studying, I can usually be found loitering around the Writing Center with my coworkers, doing photography around town, or working on my latest creative writing project. After graduation I am planning to pursue a graduate degree, either through a Fulbright program or a graduate school here in the States. I believe wholeheartedly that sharing stories can change the world and for that reason I study literature with the intention of one day working in the publishing field as a developmental fiction editor. I chose to study literature because of my deep passion for storytelling, not only in telling my own stories but better understanding those of others. I’m currently a Junior majoring in English with an emphasis in Literature here at Boise State, with plans to study abroad in Stirling, Scotland this coming Fall of 2019. I was born in Boise and grew up in Nampa, where I still reside. ![]() ![]() Although many works of art illustrate the balance, or unity, of opposites, few works successfully embody the actual union of opposites, a concept equated with the essence of art by Coleridge, with the essence of physical and metaphysical laws by Hegel, and with the essence of the Selbst by Jung.
