Race, Gender and Nation

3 credits · Undergraduate credit

This interdisciplinary course introduces students to the study of race and gender in comparative contexts. Topics include colonialism, inequality, the politics of prisons, militarization, human rights, visual culture and a focus on women of color and Third World feminist thought. The course adopts both a comparative perspective (for countries such as the United States, Egypt, India, and Brazil) and a transnational perspective on contemporary issues.
