This course examines the origins of race-thinking and the myriad ways in which race has been constructed and deconstructed. Students focus on a critical interpretation of what race is, what it does, and how contemporary racial meanings are produced and reproduced. Course readings are drawn from the fields of religious studies, philosophy, social theory, and legal studies, in order to draw on a broad vocabulary and set of references when engaging the meanings of race and racial presentation. Cross-listed with SOC 2575 Critical Race Theory. GE: Humanities - Philosophical Inquiry
