| CHS 390J - Race, Identity, and Power |
|
Throughout our seminar we will examine the social construction of race and ethnicity through multiple theoretical frameworks, unpacking their central assumptions, discourses, central research questions, anchoring concepts, methodological approaches and epistemologies as well as public policy implications. This comse will also examine the social constuction of race as it relates to the "making" of Mexican Americans as a racial group in US Society. We then examine the US Census as one manifestation of this process. In the context of these macrolevel processes, we examine the ways in which racial and ethnic identities intersect to inhabit, challenge, and disrupt race and the resultant nomenclatures Mexican-origin individuals employ. We conclude the course with an analysis of the intersections of race with other social domains, such as class, ethnicity, gender, sexuality, etc. and what this means for identity formation.
