The course is designed to provide students critical thinking skills that focus on Native American/Indigenous, Black/African American, Asian American, Asian Pacific Islander, and Chicanx/Latinx communities. The course focuses on culturally relevant topics, including examination of political speeches and popular culture, thus offering examples of dominant narratives and decolonial narratives of resistance. A primary objective of this course is to examine the rhetorics of racism, identifying cultural productions by people of color versus those about people of color, and selected debates about eurocentrism, white supremacy, liberation, decolonization, and anti-racist rhetorical devices. Students will receive a comparative analysis drawn from a range of racial and ethnic depictions of Native American/Indigenous, Black/African American, Asian American, Asian Pacific Islander, and Chicanx/Latinx communities.Usually HeldTue 9:35am–11:00am
