ANT 1102 Tracing the Roots of Racism Through Anthropology
Emphasizing the role of anthropology as a primary creator and contributor historically to our understanding and use of the terms race and racism, this course focuses on how biological and cultural conceptions of race intersect both in the United States and globally. Historical and comparative approaches will be used to trace how early perspectives of race and racism evolved politically, socially, continuing to this day. One specific focus will be to demonstrate how racism perpetuates inequalities that give rise to health disparities throughout the world.
