EGST 0305 - Critical Race Studies

Credits: 3

Students will explore disciplinary approaches within the emerging field of critical race studies. The course will interrogate the construction of "race" as a legal, institutional, and social construction and explore the impact of that construction over different historical periods for different populations. Possible exploration may include the social construction of whiteness, perspectives on institutional racism in the United States, the development and impact of critical race theory in places such as Australia, particularly in reference to the Indigenous populations and Europe in relation to the immigrant populations. Topics may vary by semester. Course can be taken more than once depending on topic variability.

Prerequisites: EGST 0101 or EGST 0102.
