SOCI 3510 - Critical Race Theory

Institution:

New College of Florida

Subject:

Sociology

Description:

Critical Race Theory is an approach to law, society, and culture that sees race and racism as central to US society and embedded in our institutions and systems. In this course, we will examine the history, important concepts, and various methodologies of critical race theory as we pull from scholarship in various branches of the field (e.g. LatCrit, AsianCrit, BlackCrit, DisCrit, TribalCrit, and WhiteCrit). We will examine the importance of critical race theory for sociological analysis, focusing on a few areas of empirical investigation like education, housing, and the criminal justice system. Lastly, we will examine ideas about the possibility for and challenges to anti-racism coalition building and social transformation. This course will be largely discussion based.
