Philosophy of Race

0.5 credits · Undergraduate

This course introduces philosophical articulations of race, racism, and racialization. Students learn how political philosophers have made sense of race as a structural condition of the modern and contemporary world, as a force that shapes individual lives in different ways, and how they have explored the different ways in which racialization takes place. A wide range of philosophical approaches are explored. Prerequisite: 7.0 university credits including PHIL 1100H, or permission of the instructor.
