Racism is a hot-button issue globally. Although thoroughly debunked and are more widely condemned than ever, it nevertheless continues to surface in government policies, popular representations, and brutal acts of violence. What is it that makes racism so intractable? This course works to answer that question by analyzing racism as a problem that's deeply embedded in Western societies, albeit similarly prevalent in many non-Western countries. We'll also look at how racism connects with other social categories such as indigeneity, gender, sexuality, disability, religion and class. And in addition to considering how racism has operated to oppress, exclude and scapegoat, we'll also be attentive to how marginalized groups have fought back.
