Expanded Course Description
| There is no such thing as biological human race. So how did race become such a salient social category around the world? And why does it persist? Working from a historical and cultural perspective, this course first explores how race came to be a key principle of social organization in Western Europe and how it spread around the world through colonialism and extractive capitalism. After a brief review of the biology of race, the remainder of the course explores critical case studies of present-day race systems around the world, with a focus on structural racisms and current events. Global case studies rotate each term and may include the USA, India, Brazil, South Africa, Japan, and others. Student grades will be based largely on a research paper and presentation examining the origins and operations of race in a global location of their choosing. |
