HSOC-207: Race and Racism

Current events make race and racism hard to ignore. This course takes a hard look at the history and present of race and racism in the Americas. We will ask a lot of questions - how is race socially constructed and experienced? What realities are created by the idea of race? What might racial justice look like? This class is not for the faint of heart; we will delve deeply into tough issues for which there are neither easy nor neat resolutions.
