RAES 100 - Introduction to Race and Ethnic Studies4.00 credit hours
Introduces the foundational concepts and theories of race and ethnic studies by exploring the processes by which racial and ethnic identities are socially constructed as a field of contingent categories. Considers how race and ethnicity are materially and discursively implicated in identities, institutions and a range of social, economic and political processes. The focus is both critical and normative, both diagnosing and critiquing processes of race and ethnicity formation that produce and reinscribe hierarchy while engaging with texts and practices of resistance that envision and prescribe alternative, more equitable futures.
Cardinal Directions Designation(s): U.S. Power Structures.
iCon(s): Being Human.
