About this course

This seminar introduces the theoretical foundations for the interdisciplinary study of race and ethnicity, with an emphasis on historical, global, and intersectional approaches to the study of race and ethnicity. This multidisciplinary field of scholarship calls us to address unequal relationships of power and domination by analyzing the historical and global construction, emergence, and consequences of ethnoracial categories and distinctions. Drawing on case studies from the Americas and elsewhere, this course aims to establish a foundation of key terms, theories, and ideas in the field, as well as familiarize students with a broad survey across time and regions. Major topics include how racial categories have formed and evolved over time and across societies and how racial categories have informed ideas about power, oppression, and liberation. The seminar will draw on various classic and contemporary texts from critical race theory, history, feminist studies, postcolonial studies, sociology, anthropology, and other disciplines.
