Recently, I came across a PhD thesis where the author started off with an author identity statement. In this statement, they mentioned where they were born, their cultural identity, their educational, health and financial status.
Here is the exact snippet which caught my attention.
The author identified as a US born, White, cis-gender, able-bodied, educated, financially stable adult.
