Institutions and Inequities

Catalog description

This course offers frameworks for understanding institutional racism, racial capitalism, and the historical and contemporary ways through which these forces reinforce and maintain racial inequity across a variety of social sectors (e.g., health, media, education, criminal justice, and the environment). At the end of this course, students will be able to identify how race is institutionalized, how racialized institutions are interconnected, and how institutional violence can be combated.
