If you're looking for an excellent course that you can take on AI, I recommend @carlbergstrom.com's Bullshit Machines. I got a bunch of people to work through it with me in my department and it's worked for people with all levels of tech comfort and knowledge:

Identity. Identity politics. Is identity innate? Is it developed? Chosen? Is it a group thing? An individual thing? What is it
A lot of the arguements about identity that we encounter are people in dispute because the word 'identity' is being used to mean different things. 
Is identity a core aspect of self, unchanging through time?
Or is it an aspect of self that connects you to a group, that you can develop, discover?
Is it something that comes from within a person, or is it something projected from the outside, to do with how people percieve you?
And how does identity, in all it's different formats, relate to people with profound disabilities?
If you fancy a kind of quick guide to identity to inform yourself within the landscape of identity politics then you might enjoy chapter three of my thesis,
You do not have to read a whole thesis to nourish your curiousity. 

Chapter 3 of my thesis is an adventure through identity

I don't suppose anyone has a copy of Anne Meredith's unpublished thesis on 'Middle Class Women and Horticultural Education 1890-1939'? I've done a ton of googling and all I can find are people citing it & calling it unpublished but no copies... #PhDSky #PhDChat #GardeningHistory #WomensHistory
