RACE, CLASS & GENDER POLITICS

Catalog description

This course provides perspectives on identity politics, the complex interaction between the categories of race, class, gender and ethnicity. We will examine the role that race, class, gender and ethnicity play in our politics on a personal, local and national level. In addition to historical and current readings, we will also discuss a foundation on which to conduct analysis of the intersections among issues of race, class and gender.
