    Description
    This course introduces students to philosophical perspectives on race and racism. Topics will include key debates in the field concerning the metaphysical statues of race, the relationship between the concepts of race and racism, the first-person reality of race, contemporary social issues (such as education, health, and incarceration), the concept of race in public policy and law, and the connections between racial, ethnic, and national identities. Readings will include selections drawn from the history of philosophy, as well as from prominent contemporary thinkers on these topics.
