Critical Race Theory

Catalog description

This seminar explores a vein of scholarship on race, racism, and law known as Critical Race Theory. It focuses on intellectual history (especially in the legal academe) and deep exploration of the far-reaching implications of viewing race and racism through a critical lens. In addition to providing a firm grounding in CRT scholarship and praxis, this course also interrogates the nascent anti CRT political movement as well as the viability of affirmative action under US law.
