SOC 203 Race and Ethnicity: Social Science Perspectives
This course examines anthropological theories of race and ethnicity, starting with approaches developed in the late 19th century and tracing them through to the present-day. It approaches race and ethnicity as culturally-constructed phenomena that articulate with historical, political, and economic forces at local, national, and international scales. In addition to examining race and ethnicity in the United States, the course emphasizes scholars and case studies from around the world to broaden students' understanding of and assumptions about this complex domain of social life. The course strives to teach students practical skills to help build dialogue and community across racial and ethnic divides.
