Course Description

This course covers foundational concepts in the creation and application of racial and ethnic categories and identities, the perception of racialized others, and the systematic institutionalization of racialized hierarchies. We take a transdisciplinary approach to interrogating how socially constructed differences are realized and how they may be transformed. Key topics include: ideology, identity, intersectionality, discrimination, hierarchy, solidarity, resistance, reproduction, and transformation.
