    Description
    ES 001 is the interdisciplinary study of race and ethnicity, as understood through the perspectives of major underrepresented racial groups including Native Americans, African Americans, Asian Americans, and Latina/o/x Americans in the United States. The course examines a broad range of sociocultural, intellectual, and historical experiences that inform the construction and intersectionality of race and ethnicity. An analysis of cultural and political contexts serves to evaluate systems of power, privilege, and inequality. Emphasis is placed racial and social justice with methods for building a just and equitable society.
