    Description
    This course is a sociological analysis of race and ethnicity in the United States. The course examines the ways in which changing U.S. demographics and recent immigration history have complicated both racial and ethnic categories as well as the relationships between and among groups within those categories. Students will utilize the conceptual tools needed to recognize some of the ways in which race is embedded in ordinary discourse and life. The avenues to and potential for bringing about social change and racial justice will be explored.
