Evolving Definitions of Power Relations in the United States through Language as Form

Abstract

Each work has specific content that is derived from absorbing writing from scholars. These writings vary in specificity but relate to larger subjects of interest. My overarching areas of study include form as content, positionality, present day colonialism, power relations within the U.S., evolving definitions, continued racism, and how secular ethics combined with an improved education system can help us move in a positive direction. In order to make sense of where we stand today as a nation and also as individual citizens within society, we have to understand the past and how these relationships continue to morph through time. Through my research and utilizing language as form, I learn how we operate in a society of changing definitions and hope to expand my curiosity to the public.
