RACE AND WHITENESS

Undergraduate

This course explores how “whiteness” as both an identity and a structure has long been overlooked, denied, and disavowed—and with what consequences. Topics addressed include: the idea of race and definitions of racism; multiple and conflicting ideas about whiteness-es; everyday whiteness, white normativity, and white privilege; “white fragility” and “white guilt”; and white anti-racism and “good white people.” Cross-listed with DSJS 3120. Credit cannot be received for both of these courses. PREREQUISITE: Anthropology 1050, Sociology 1010, and one 2000 level Anthropology, Sociology, or Sociology/Anthropology course.
