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.

I plan to have students edit a Wiki page as their end of the semester assignment. They will then submit a reflection on what they learned, challenges, how they chose the selected page, etc.
