Students will discuss and analyze key theories and concepts from the field of Ethnic Studies, including Critical Race Theory (CRT), coloniality, migration, double-consciousness, colorblind racism, decolonial practices, and the “Wages of Whiteness,” among other topics, to grant students conceptual tools for the discussion of race and ethnicity in U.S. society.

Particular emphasis will be placed on historical and contemporary discussion of African American/Black, Native American/Indigenous, Asian American, Asian Pacific Islander, Chicanx/Xicanx, and Latinx communities, including comparative and transnational lenses.
