SOC 320 - Sociology of Race (4)

Critically examines the social construction of race and the ways in which dominance and subordination are linked to this process. This course surveys what race is, how conceptions of race have changed over time, and how racism can be understood. Through course readings and discussions, students develop a historically grounded understanding of how race structures social life in the United States. Students learn about the relationship between race and social inequality, and where possible, also investigate individual and collective acts of racial resistance. Every year.
