Subject:

Description:

As social scientists assert, race matters. What is race? How does race play a role in American society? This course explores race from all of its dimensions: biology, culture, language, and cultural evolution. In addition to investigating the evolutionary factors that give rise to physical human variation, this course addresses the processes that gave rise to social inequality. Students use an anthropological approach to trace the formation of the current U.S. racial hierarchy from the colonial era to the present and examine the shifting character of racial discrimination across time and space. No prerequisite. 3 semester hours
