PHIL 111 Introduction to Critical Race Studies

In this course students will examine race critically, by first interrogating the formation and social reality of race from a historical and theoretical standpoint, and then analyzing the prevalence of racial injustice in modern and contemporary institutions. The course will explore crucial inter-related areas of inquiry: whiteness/white supremacy, indigeneity, blackness, post-colonialism, and intersectionality. The course will also utilize the critical approach to examine contemporary issues, such as reparation, mass incarceration, or police violence.
