    Description
    Introduction to Black Studies takes an anti-racist approach to examining racial, ethnic, historical, political, social, and cultural issues, such as anti-blackness and policing of Black bodies, that affect Black, African American, Afro-Latinx, and people of African origin worldwide. Students will utilize an Ethnic Studies and interdisciplinary approach with a focus on Black academic and non-academic knowledge production. Students will acquire a deeper understanding and appreciation for the contributions that Black people have made to human civilization. The class will interrogate the intersections of race, ethnicity, nationality, gender, sexuality, class, ability, and mental health as they relate to Black experiences.
