Inquiry in Humanities and Creative Arts

Catalog description

This course uses humanistic and creative methods to introduce interdisciplinary Ethnic Studies. Modes of inquiry like textual and visual analysis or creative nonfiction engender examinations of race: its social construction in the U.S., its ideologies in slavery, immigration, diaspora, and conquest, and its intersections with class, gender, and sexuality. The course may take a comparative approach or focus on African American, Asian American, Latina/o or Native American Studies. Students cannot take this course and other 1000-level ETHN courses on the same topic.
