SOC-201: Sociology of Race and Ethnicity

Course Description

This course engages students in an academic and personal exploration of the experience, performance, and implications of race and ethnicity in the United States. Incorporating a sociological lens, this course begins with the assumption that race and ethnicity are constructed phenomena that reflect social, political, economic, and cultural forces. In this class, we will examine structural origins of racial inequality in the U.S. We will apply an intersectional lens to explore systemic inequalities created by the co-constructions of race, class, gender and their impact on a personal and institutional level. We explore the ways in which racial social justice movements have transformed our culture over time as well as examining the ways in which we can instigate social change in the future.
