SOC 29

About this course

This course is a sociological investigation into the socio-historical development of race and ethnicity as analytical categories and organizing principles in U.S. society. This course explores the impacts of racialized public policies and structural practices on past and contemporary structures in U.S. society. In this course, learners analyze the legal effects of the Civil Rights Movement and U.S. and international public policies directly relevant to race and ethnic relations. Participants will focus on key racialized social, economic, and environmental moments in U.S. history and their impact on diverse racial and ethnic populations. This course also investigates the demographic implications of race and ethnic relations on major social institutions in the United States comparing socio-historical analyses of majority-minority relations with emphasis on the experiences of African-Americans, Hispanic/Latino-Americans, Asian-Americans and the indigenous Native American tribes, and mixed-race populations. Additionally, this course explores intersectional relationships between categories of race, class, gender, and sexuality.
