    Description
    Examines the social, economic, political, and cultural dynamics of race and ethnicity in the United States. Utilizes theory to assess the comparative histories, cultures, and intellectual traditions of Native Americans, African Americans, Latino/as, and Asian Americans. Introduces major concepts used to understand the lived experiences of historically racialized groups such as social construction of race, racial formation, critical race theory, internal colonialism, and intersectionality. Emphasizes the role of resistance and agency in advancing the goals of self-determination, decolonization, and equity. May be offered in a distance-learning format. ETHN 3 and SOC 3 are cross-listed courses. Students may enroll in one course for credit, but not more than one.
