Description:

This course focuses on the assumptions, confusions, successes, and contradictions behind the idea of "diversity" by taking an anthropological, historical, and psychological look at the complex category of race. We will examine the origins of race as a cultural construction; we will scrutinize the legislation and policies that have shaped the ideology of race over time; and we will think about race in contemporary society by looking at inequalities, schools, and the media.
