About this course
This course explores the complex topic of colorism, a reality that touches and affects all races and ethnicities around the globe. Students will investigate the divisive history and colonial origins of colorism and the ways in which colorism manifests itself around the world, in art, fashion, law, film, employment, music, and/or politics. This course will also investigate how colorism intersects with important identities, such as ethnic, gender, sexual, racial, class, and familial. Calling on personal experience, students will think critically about colorism as a force in the world, reflect on its role in their own lives, and identify and practice ways of addressing and resisting its harmful effects through learning about resistance movements like ?Black Power? and ?La Raza.?
