Students will discuss and analyze key theories and concepts from the field of Ethnic Studies, including Critical Race Theory (CRT), coloniality, migration, double-consciousness, colorblind racism, decolonial practices, and the "Wages of Whiteness," among other topics, to grant students conceptual tools for the discussion of race and ethnicity in U.S. society. Through an intersectional analysis, students will interrogate categories of identity and power including race, ethnicity, class, gender, sexuality, religion, age, and ability. Particular emphasis will be placed on historical and contemporary discussion of African American/Black, Native American/Indigenous, Asian American, Asian Pacific Islander, Chicanx/Xicanx, and Latinx communities, including comparative and transnational lenses. The course will also discuss whiteness as an integral part of the construction of race with a particular emphasis on the persistence of social inequalities and the continual struggle and advances for racial justice and anti-racist activism in society.Usually HeldMon Wed 12:45pm–2:10pm, Tue 3:20pm–6:30pm, Tue Thu 9:35am–11:00am, Mon 8:00am–9:25am
