    Description
    This course offers a critical analysis of how the social and spatial construction of racial/ethnic categories, specifically African American, Asian American, Latino and Latina American, and Native American, shape places, societies, and every day lived-experiences in the United States. This course will apply interdisciplinary theoretical perspectives and key geographic concepts to analyze how these processes are produced through historic and contemporary geographies of power, privilege, and oppression; agency, liberation, resistance, and justice; and exclusion, containment, access, and mobility. This course will provide students with the lifelong knowledge and skills to navigate social, psychological, physiological, and spatial relations of racial/ethnic inequality and justice. The course is not open to students who received credit or are currently enrolled in GEOG 137.
