Race and Racism

(3 Credit Hours) · Undergraduate

This is not an easy topic and has no easy mode of analysis. Yet, understanding Race and racism is one of the most pressing matters for our society. In order to do this we engage contemporary issues of race and racism through the lens of anthropology. We'll tackle human diversity via biology, history and contemporary society in order to see what Race is and what it is not...demonstrating why racism matters. Examining the processes, structures and impacts of racism enables us to dive deep into the complexities of systemic violence, and engage the diverse histories and complicated issues and practices of our very problematic contemporary reality.
