SOCIOL 647 - Sociology of Race and Racism

3 Credit(s)

Description:
This course introduces students to the major sociological theoretical perspectives and current empirical research on racial inequality. We will mostly examine how social analysts have framed race and racism in the USA since about the 1950’s, with a few examples from non-US contexts to push our thinking beyond American constructions. At the end of the semester, students should have attained a clear and comprehensive view of how issues around race and the intersection of race, class, and gender have been framed by social analysts over the last several decades.
