Course Catalog Description:
This course is designed to provide students with an understanding of the contours of race in the post-civil rights era United States. This course will focus on race relations in today's society with a historical overview of the experiences of various racial and ethnic groups in order to help explain their present-day social status. The class will also class consider the future of race relations in the U.S. and evaluate remedies to racial inequality.
Class Description:
"Race" has been an important of American history, but we try to talk about a "post-racial" society in the 21st century. This class will cover the origins of race (and racism), before diving into race in American history and the consequences this history has for contemporary race relations. We will discuss what exactly "race" is and isn't, why race and racism are central to American politics and culture, and how "race"
in the post-Civil Rights Era and the 21st century has both declined and grown in significance.
Class Format:
Active participation and discussion are encouraged in this class environment. Students should expect in-class activities.
Workload:
Students interested in this course can expect to read 10-30 pages of academic work per week; in addition, we will be writing and revising paper work over the course of the semester.
