This course explores how ideas about race and blackness have been constructed throughout history. We will analyze how meanings have been attributed to racial difference and the impact this has had on resources, knowledge, and power. We will take an intersectional approach and analyze how race intersects with gender, socio-economic status, and sexuality. Finally, we will examine how ideas about blackness have been challenges and contested throughout time.

Students will be asked to contribute to an existing Wiki page (adding citations, adding information, or creating a new subsection) on a topic of their choosing as it relates to a contemporary social problem that African Americans experience.
