Class Description:
This graduate-level course is about whites, whiteness, and racism in theory and practice in the contemporary United States. Course work will involve reading and discussion to understand theoretical approaches and prior findings, as well as community engaged learning to see how course concepts do or do not play out in real life. The course is designed to help students develop and articulate their own understanding of how the social construction of race categories such as "white" works, how whiteness exists and functions as a social and cultural way of being, and how various forms of racism can work within or against these systems and structures.
