ESS 40200 - Racial & Ethnic Conflict in the U.S.

Institution:

University of Notre Dame

Subject:

Education

Description:

The course examines the causes and consequences of racial and ethnic conflict. We will address questions such as the following: How do race and ethnicity become meaningful to social actors? What factors contribute to inter-group conflict? What are the origins and consequences of inter-group inequalities? How are racial and ethnic identities related to social class? How are racial and ethnic identities related to politics? How can a racial or ethnic group overcome a subordinate status? In addition to engaging relevant literature, students will devote significant time to developing original research questions which could, with further development, result in published articles. (May not take if already took SOC 43838 because of course content overlap.)
