Contemporary Race Theory

Morrissey College of Arts & Sciences

To get sociology credit for the major or minor, you must register for SOCY5597 rather than cross-listed course.. This class will explore how various contemporary writers engage with the question of race, both in the United States and transnationally. We will look at social constructionist theories of race, postmodernism, feminist theory, critical legal studies, and the intersection between contemporary race theory and queer theory.
