SO 200 - Race and Ethnicity: The Key Concepts

Credits: 4
Race and ethnicity continue to affect the social world and the people who inhabit it in multiple ways. The course situates the study of race and ethnicity within its own historical and intellectual context and exposes students to the broad diversity of sociological scholarship in the field. Its purpose is to provide students with an understanding of the conceptual evolution of key concepts and the ways in which they are deployed or remain pertinent in current debates. Key concepts surveyed include, but are not limited to, race, ethnicity, racism, anti-racism, gendered racism, discrimination colorblindness, and whiteness.
