SOC 1364 - RACE AROUND THE WORLD

Minimum Credits: 3
Maximum Credits: 3
Beginning with colonialization, race has had a profound influence on local and global socioeconomic relations. This seminar explores the historical roots of race, the role race played in colonization and the transatlantic slave trade, how colonial legacies and globalization perpetuate the racial hierarchy in nations with little racial diversity, and how migration and international relations continue to shape and reshape a global conception of the racial order. As students explore race around the world, they will be encouraged to consider how the fight for racial justice can be both local and global.
