ETHNIC STUDIES, SPACE, AND SOCIAL JUSTICE

Catalog description

Examines the intersections of race, ethnicity, and spatial exclusion in the United States. Focuses on the spatial dimensions of race and racism, the lived spatial experiences of Native American, African American, Asian American, and Latinx/Chicanx American identity groups, and the ways in which these groups have responded to a long history of segregation, inequality, and exclusion. Emphasis will be placed on both the laws, policies, and institutional practices that created this spatial exclusion and the social justice movements that have developed in response.
