FYS 1200 - What Race Are We Now?

Credits: 4.0
conceptualizations, classifications and boundaries and how they change over time within and between societies. For example, US census data shows that race has been measured differently with each census since 1790. This has given us an insight into the question of who is included and excluded from which racial category, which for the most part has tended to reflect the political, socio-cultural and economic realities of the material point in time. This course will therefore conduct a cross-cultural examination of how the idea of race has been socially constructed over time and space; the implications of the various categorizations on privilege, status and power in society; and whether we are indeed in a post-racial society.
