SOC 374 Erotic Organization of Race

Race and sex were traditionally understood as radically independent social and political matters.  Feminists of color, and queer theorists more recently, have challenged this distinction between the reality and construction of the categories of race and sex.  In this course we will look at the manner in which the construction of race evolves in a close relationship to systematizations of erotic experience and how technologies or ideas associated with the social regulation of the erotic are at the heart of our understanding of race.
